clavius, you are supposed to get an alignment soon after getting any major suspension adjustments done like changing the springs/shocks

some say do it right after some say do it when ya can just dont go too many miles without cause of the tire wear but i dunno im just repeating what i read.

i agree, anytime you do work on the suspension, you should have an alignment, though i have been really lazy and havent gotten mine done yet, though it has been over a year since i lowered mine. though, i have been lucky as my tires arent showing any appreciable wear.

thanks for coming down CRH!!!!

Thanks Ray and Lurch, Chris gave me a heads up on a alignment but I'll definatly be mentioning the GT spec's. Though I know for a fact I'm gonna have a minor fight with 'em about as to why I need it done that way. Aww screw it I'll go to another dealer, how long do they take with all my cars I havent had one done so unsure on the length of time. So yeah color me a newb in this please lol
