alignment needed
heyu guys, just a quick question, i actually removed my eibach prokit springs and put back the stock springs, my question is, do i need to do an alignment even though it seems to be pretty well aligned (i had it aligned a week before i removed the springs) any advice would be appreciated, thanks
although it seems to be pretty well aligned, you should go get another alignment... by taking apart the suspension and putting the stock springs back in, there's a good chance some of the settings in your recent alignment (when your car was lowered) will need to be re-adjusted for the way your car is now sitting.....this will also ensure you get the most life out of your tires

Yes. For two reasons, actually.
1. Your ride height went up, which causes camber to change (less negative), which in turn forces changes in toe (probably more 'in'). I'd worry more about the toe.
2. Any time you disconnect anything is the front suspension linkage there is a real chance that it doesn't get re-assembled with the parts in quite the same relationship to each other. Strut bolt holes do have a little clearance.
