People with H&R Sport Springs
I'm considering installing a set of H&R Sport Springs and I'm wondering if I need alignment.
Before anyone blows there top, I've already done a search on the topic. And what I read are mixed responses.
Some say yes you should and others say its not necessary if your car doesn't pull left or right.
So to the people who haven't gotten alignment done after there install... Any problems so far?? Signs of uneven wear and/or pulling?

I just installed mine and have not aligned the car.
I would be best to wait about two months and let the springs settle before you do.
Thats my opinion and thats what Im doin.
My car doesnt pull it goes perfectly straight even after the install.
No sense in Alligning it then it getting lower and aligning it again.
It looks bad ass though man... your gonna like it.

I had my springs put in about a year ago...and everyone was saying to get an alignment, and it was logical/reasonable to get one. They are messing with the suspension when they are installing springs...and most times, the suspension will get shifted left or right....the question is by how much? Mine wasn't off by that much. But if you wait two months and your alignement was off by a sufficent amount...you won't have anymore tread on your tires to care about. But it's also logical to align then after they settle down, but it takes more then 2 months for them to settle down. Mine took about 6 months to settle in COMPLETELY.
But to think about it...alignment is to make your tires parallel with each other. If your car is still settling down and it's still lowering...the tires will still be parallell and the suspension will still be aligned.

Had my car aligned about 2 weeks after the springs were installed. This was purely for scheduling reasons, though -- not because I was waiting for the springs to settle.
