We did ours the next day... We were off by 0.006 in the front. The guys were impressed on how little it was off from specs. My guess, it was already off from specs before we did the drop.

I'd do it as soon as possible. I mean not necessarily the same day, but I woudnt wait a week either. Sometimes it may not be misaligned but better be safe and get it done.

I just lowered my car last saturday and still haven't gotten an alignment. Granted i've only driven 30-40 miles between then and now. i haven't noticed any wear on the tires, nor my car pulling either way when driving. im planning on getting my alignment this weekend, i just wanted the springs to settle before i do. but it is preferred you do get your alignment soon.

Thanks for the input guys. I was just worried I was going to screw something up driving to work Friday if I didin't get it aligned the same day. Looks like I'm safe.
