coilover question

I am new to this whole coilover thing, cause i am about to buy a set of them this week from a fellow orger, and have acouple questions:

1. once i put them on, get it to the right height i want, and take it to be aligned(sp?) is that it, or can i change the ride hieghts without having to realign the car. i just do not want to be paying for alignment after alignment if i choose to mess with the height of the car.

2. Well i am picking up a set of ground controls for a good price, and from what i hear they are very harsh. But are they to a rediculous point? like if i put my agx's on 1:1 will it still be hell?

well that is really all i had to ask. Tanks alot for your help

1- Yes everytime you touch the suspension (adjust hieght, camber, whatever) you will have to go and get your car aligned again.

2- Yes the ride will be very harsh. You get what you pay for...

Not sure if you have Firestone there, but they offer a lifetime alignment for maybe $100 or so.

Dustin if you decide to drop it pretty low, take it to Butler Tire for alignment...they perfect the process.

Im sure the AGX's will handle it fine.
