You need an alignment. The issue now is whether you'll need a camber kit.

If the drop is 1.5", you probably won't need a camber kit (however there are peeps on the baord that are having uneven tire wear even just with a Pro-Kit drop). If the drop is over 1.5" (like with the Sportlines, you'll need a camber kit or your tires will wear unevenly.

what will happen if I don't get Alightment.

I can just rotate my tire and solve that problem, can't I?

Don't try to find a way out of an alignment...how do you expect your alignment to stay within specs when you lower it? Hell, if you're at stock height and hit a big pothole your alignment may go out of wack....so just get the alignment done. If not you'll be whining in a few months about how your tires are already bald and your car is veering to one side on its own. Just do it!

You'll wear out your tires very quickly (and unevenly).

$$$ spent now on an alignment, will be only a fraction of new tires (let alone the stress you're putting on your suspension).

If you got Sportlines w/ Tokico you will definitly need an alignment and an extreme camber kit. Either Ingalls or SPC...Trust me I learned the hard way...
