Alignment with ground controls

Hey whats up I have a 95 Maxima SE 5 Speed. I am looking to get the ground control coilovers with the AGX adjustable struts. The thing is I have heard that when you adjust your ride height with the ground control coilovers you have to get your wheels aligned every time you change the ride height. I definatly do not want to get my wheels aligned 3 or 4 times a year. Too costly for me. I know you need to get them Aligned when you first get coilovers but do you need to keep aligning them every time you adjust them.

This question has been posted before but I have never found a solid answer.

If you have the ground control coilovers please tell me what you think of them.

Get the car aligned at the ride height you will be normally driving at. Say around the 1.5 - 2 inch drop range. As you raise and lower the car, your camber will change, but not enough to do any damage or cause excessive tread ware. If you want to ride around slammed for the weekend, go for it. But put it back to your selected ride height when your done playing.

They do it by matching up with lazors and electric eyes. I dont think you can do it yourself at home.
