Okay, so I plan on installing these when I go back to school on January 7th.

Do I need to have an alignment done?

I've heard some people on here have never done one after they dropped and everything is fine.

Is this true?

That's the answer I'm looking to hear.

Haha.

If I really need it, I suppose I will, but if it's not that bad then screw it.

i had eibach prokit on my car, and now i have b + g coilovers, and have never done an alignment yet. its not a must, all it does is affect your tire wear and how the car sits. but its recomended

When I switched to ss/sc springs, I went to get an alignment at sears cuz they check it free of charge. If the camber/toe are out of specs then they will adjust them, if not then they give you your keys back and thats it. Glad mine were within range for each tire.

Remember that some places will charge you to check the alignment regardless if the car needs it or not.

I could bring mine to Sears, we have one out by my house.

If they check it for free, that is.

Haha.

I would say go with getting an alignment checked atleast.

You never know... even though when mine were installed it barely shifted the alignment lol.
