Alignments help

I want to hear some opinion... I just got my Tanabe installed and I dont know when I should get my alignment checked... Should I get it after it settles in(about a month)?? or a week after I got it installed?

you should get an alignment done after the springs settle.

To preserve your tires, you should get it aligned as soon as you get your springs installed. Don't wait for it to settle.

To be honest, neither have I after getting my springs on but my tires are almost worn out anyway. If you don't soon, you are likely to start seeing uneven wear even if you don't feel the car pulling. I'm going to let mine settle for a couple of thousand miles (less than a month for me) and get it aligned wihtn I get new tires. But if I had tires worth preserviing, I'd get it done right away.

The Tanubes are such a mild drop I would wait until it settles.
