you need an alignment anytime the suspension is altered.. so even if you pulled the bolts off and moved the strut.. you will need an alignment..

I assume you would also need one after replacing the springs as well? How about a wheel?

Do they still use the factory specs when you are lowered?

after i lowered my car myself, and put on my new rims, i got the car aligned. it was EXACTLY within specs. i was suprised, especially since doing the springs myself, and taking the front off SO many times. better safe than sorry though

I wonder if it's "easier" for most to get it done with Eibachs and H&Rs.

There's no way unless your toe was way off before you did the work.....

I'd bring it somewhere else just to make sure...

i went to direct tire (aka a good place), before and after specs were the same, AND matched the specs from a previous alignment.
