An alignment is strongly recommended with the sportline springs. Your caster/camber/toe are way off if it hasn't been aligned, and the car really needs an adjustable panhard bar to center the rearend:

The d-specs with the GT500 strut mounts are a good combo.

At a minimum, get a toe alignment. However, if you go with new dampers, you might be able to wait a few weeks if its not a DD for it. Just depends on how much you drive it and if you are going with new shocks/struts.
