spring question

I'm getting my H&R springs installed today, I was just wondering if I HAVE to get an alignment job done on my TLS after the springs. If so.......how long should I wait before going to the alignment shop? Thanks in advance.

if ure lucky, u wont need alignment... but the odds are slim of that... its better if u get it done

the safest period is 2weeks after install

Definitely get it done... your tires will thank you. Depending on what H&R kit you got you may also need a camber kit. I have the H&R Sports and with my tire setup (18" +45 offset) I need the camber kit installed as well.

actually I went and got a very little drop, I got the H&R OE's cause michigan weather kills me. I got 18s with a 45 offset, how do I know if I have camber issues? thanks in advance.

You should be fine with the OE's, however, there are two basic ways you'll know if you need a camber kit.

1) The shop doing the alignment tells you your camber is off.
2) You notice the rear wheels are at an angle.

If you have either of those happen, you'll need the kit.. but you should be fine.
