I just bought a set of Eibach Pro Kit springs with the Tokico HP series struts. I've heard from many people that I should get an alignment when I get the stuff installed, but yet also heard from others that it's wiser to wait 2 weeks to a month until the springs settle to get a more accurate alignment. Which is wiser?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Yes,the wise thing to do is wait two weeks to a month so,the springs
can settle! What settle means is the springs will come to their complete
drop! In the two week to month period your stang will lower more so,before
you get your alignment make sure the springs are settled this is important!
Your Eibachs will lower your stang 1.5" most likely in about a month.Look
around for a good shop to do your alignment because every shop isn't the
same.Congrats I bet your stang looks great with the Eibach's!

you need to wait a couple weeks and drive it regularly and what not, it should be settled by then, it is likly it will settle very little, my c springs never settles AT ALL in the front, the rear came down another tenth of an inch.

If you dont have aftermarket CC plates dont waste your money on an alignment until you buy some form maximummotorsports (the 4 bolt design and install them for max camber instead of normal barly lowered specs! its in the instructions so read em)
