real quick spring install question

after you install aftermarket springs (tein s-tech) do you have to get the car aligned?

Ideally anything you do that changes the ride height should send you to an alignment shop.

You won't fall off the road or be unsafe or anything but put it on the to do list.

as you lower the car (w yr new springs) additional negative camber is created. you should be running about 1.2 neg front and rear... your toe shouldn't change but it should be reset 2x a year so have them set it at just less than an 1/8th inch toed in fr and r. while your at it check your air pressure: 29-30 fr 28-27 rear cold.
