Exclamation alignment after springs?

Would you have to get an alignment after installing springs? Because I'll be getting some GF210's pretty soon and I want to make sure. I know you do with coilovers. Thanks.

Yeah. Auto Innovations is awesome.

Unless you are planning to install some other suspension stuff pretty soon, I would recommend getting aligned.

well when you're installing the springs you need to take out the struts, and whenever you do a strut replacement it's recommended to check the alignment.

Yes, you should. And jsut like the previous person said, because you ahve to remove the struts, the chances of getting them back in without affecting the aligment (specifically camber) is very slim. While you are at it, get some negative camber up front for better handling
