Lowering and alignment... How long before the tires are jacked??
So I plan on lowering my car tomorrow and install the new wheels and tires early next week. But I am wondering is how long until the tires that are on will show wear from the unalignment? 100 Miles, 200 Miles, 1000 Miles?

It will be the Eibach Pro-Kit.... I am not looking to drive forever with the kit unaligned. Just about 2 days until the new wheels and tires come in.
Also can I get the alignment with the 17" wheels that are on it now, or should I wait a couple days until the 18x9 and 18x10's come in and get put on and then get it aligned.

You'll be fine -- I would wait the 2 days until the new rims are on seeing as an aligment is going to cost you around $70 bucks -- you can do it with your stock rims/ tires to answer your question but I say wait

$70 for an alignment? Someones getting screwed! I've never paid over $40.
I drove fora week before getting it aligned with no noticeable abnormal wear to my stock tires. A week for me is only 150 miles though.

I just had the FRRP Handling Pack installed by a very reputable mustang specialist. They don't do alignments; however, he said he tested the car and it did not need to be aligned. He said that so far they have not had to realign the car with this package. I drove it and it felt very straight and tight.
