Default alignment

Ok since im not installing my c/c plates, bumpsteer kit or x2 ball joints im going to have the car aligned after the shop installs it. after then im going to be installing the shocks, struts, and springs on my time and money with a friend. Will i need to get the car aligned again after? or should it be fine? they are sportline springs, with dspec adjustable tokicos.

It is always a good idea to get an alignment when you mess with the suspention. Dude just do the C/C plates bumpsteer and ball joints your self it is sooooooooooooooo easy.

Listen to logic brother. Anytime you change a part in your front suspension, (especially springs, certainly struts), you have three basic elements you have to deal with. Camber, caster and toe. You can get more advanced than just the three, (IE. bump, rebound, compression, sway and decompression and more), but getting the basic three right is the most important to a daily driven car. Do yourself a favor and learn about the 3 basics of suspension. That way you can make an educated decision on your own. Not that I am trying to be an **** Brother, I just think a little bit of knowledge goes a long way.

YAH. i def. have been readin on the subject.. i just dont know if i could install the c/c plates my self along with the bumpsteer kit. anyone know of a good tutorial i could read through before i decide?

On the other hand, would it be a bad idea if i just installed the springs and shocks and drove it down to the shop? thats one thing i was worried about.. would i make it without any problems?
