Eibach Pro Kit - need alignment after install?

[rokhopr]

I've just ordered an Eibach Pro Kit and the shop that is going to do the install says I'll have to get an alignment afterwards. Does this sound right? Anyone had alignment problems after new springs?

Yes, it is a good idea to get an alignment.

Yes, definitely have it aligned. Personally, after I make any suspension change that is going to alter the stance, ride height, or geometry of the setup in any way I have it realigned. It's not that expensive and not only will it save your tires but will make sure your car handles properly as well.

Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely get the alignment.

Should you wait until the springs are broken in before getting it re-aligned?

 

[rokhopr]

I'll probably drive it around a bit and see how it feels. If it feels ok, I'll probably wait a week before the alignment. Sound reasonable?

 

[DarkFireGT]

I would drive for a week or two before getting the alignment.

Changing the ride height will change many angles in the alignment. Def. get it aligned.
