Tein H Tech Install

Guys I did a search and couldn't find much hard info. I plan to install my H-techs as soon as possible ; is it necessary to get an alignment? How long should I wait before getting an alignment? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Yes, alignment. Do it the day you install and repeat as necessary.

There may be some slight change in the dynamics as the springs settle into their new home which could affect the alignment. Usually, not much and one alignment will do the trick unless you are really **** about this stuff or own your own shop and like to mess with the suspension continually

I love the H-tech drop myself and it is just what this car needed.

What? Do not do the alignment the day of. Wait for the springs to settle then get alignment.

Get one of those lifetime alignment packages. Get alignment done after the install and then when it settles.

Whenever I drop, my steering wheel usually goes cockeyed and I can't drive two miles without going crazy....

I would wait about about two weeks, then get an alignment.

+1... That would be a waste.

Yeah, I'd rather drive a little awkward for a couple of weeks than spend twice the money. So whats the usual wait for springs to settle?
