Front wheel Alignment

Is a front wheel alignment absoultuley NECESSARY, with the prokit drop, or any drop for that matter? It just seems to me that if the car was in alignment before that a new drop shouldnt matter.....Im probably way off in my thingking, I was just wondering why it is 100% necessary. Thanks.

You should be able to tell if its needed when you drive it after the drop. I can say that with any car i've known that had a drop, they all needed an alignment.

I agree. Also, they can play with your camber a little bit, and make sure that you are in specs. Whats worse, paying the $60 for an alignment, or paying more for new tires, then having to get it aligned after that? I wouldnt chance it....
