Alignment situation
I have a set of H&Rs still sitting around. I don't think I'll be able to get the AGXs until December. However my car is out of alignment. My friend claims that he can have my springs put in for free from this connection he has with a lowrider shop. Should I.....
A) Align my car and wait until x-mas to throw in both H&R w/struts and align it again then.
B) Take my friends offer and have them install just the H&Rs and align it after.
C) Say screw it and leave my car un aligned until Dec and then throw in springs/struts and align after.
I think I'm starting to see some uneven wear on my tires. I just got a brand new front left one though which is unharmed for the time being. My main concern is that my I don't want my tires to take a beating. Thanks.

an unaligned car will wreak havoc on your sterring feel and tire wear.
H&R's on stock struts/shocks will eventually blow them.
ANy time you take apart the suspension entirely, as you must do to replace springs, struts, either/or, it is recommended to get an alignment ~2weeks after the change, assuming they are new and unused parts.
All that being said; I recommend you wait and do everything at once, then do the requisite alignment in ~2weeks. If your car is currently out of alignment, get an alignment anyway.

I am thinking that is sarcastic, but with Sprite, no one knows!
