Smile when to have Alignment & Sub Frame Connectors done?

I have a 1995 Cobra convertible. Just had the following installed yesterday:
1.BBK Progressive springs, 1.5 drop.
2.Koni SRT shocks and struts.
3.BBK caster camber plates.
4.33mm Front Sway bar / Summit.
5.polyurethane bushings springs.
How long should I wait to do the alignment, days, weeks?
Also car will be mostly street driven with very light occasional track time.
Negative 1.5 camber correct?
Also, at what point do I have J&R sub frame connectors welded on, at what point in time?
Ger.

I would get the alignment done immediately...I have always had it done right after lowering any of my cars. The sub frame connectors don't need to wait either...always a good idea to have those on the car no matter what

I would do the sub frames the sooner the better. On the alignment, with the car lowered, the alignment is way off, and should be done. That said, the springs will settle over the next few weeks, and you'll probably need another alignment in a month or so.
