I just lowered my car this past weekend, and the springs seemed to have settled in very nicely. I know that I now need to get an alignment, but my question is whether I should get it now, or if I should wait about 4-5 weeks until its time to take off the 19s and put the stock's back on for the winter. thanks in advance

 

Normally, you should wait at least a couple weeks for the springs to really 'settle'. However, there are not many places to do an alignment with aftermarket 19's (at least, no place I know will do an alignment with my 18s!!!)

Do the wait until you put on your steelies/OEM rims and do the alignment then. Get everything done at once. That's what I would do (and will do when I replace my rusty Comptech springs for Tein springs/Koni Yellows)
