You're supposed to. Heck, your technically supposed to after you change out ur tires too.

When i dropped my Lexus SC400 i didn't have any issues w/ my alignment.

When i dropped my 04 NBP TL w/ comptechs, i didn't have it aligned and i had problems... severe inside tire wear on front passenger tire.

When i dropped my 05 SSM TL w/ comptechs, i had it aligned for sure.

Absolutely. An alignment will cost in the area of $60 to $100. New tires will cost between $500 and $1000.

I learned my lesson in false economy after I installed the Aspec suspension. I trashed my rear tires in 7500 miles because the toe was significantly off. It was because of my cheapness that I had to spend an extra $750.
