question on alignment
Can someone tell me if I get an alignment and at a later date I put in suspension would I have to get another alignment done again?
Also if anyone know anyone selling tokico illuminas??
Thanks Diego

If your suspension changes change the ride height or replace alignment components (the rear toe links for example) than you should get another alignment.

If the springs lower the car then the best choice would be to realign it after their installation.

Camber and toe will change slightly with a change in ride height.
