hey guys i just need some advice on a few things...

tomorrow i am installing illuminas and progress springs and i've been to houscors site and it is very useful.

i was wondering how important it is to get an alignment right away because i may not have time this week to get one...also how did you guys go about jacking the car for the rear struts - can i just jack it up on the rear axle??

Thanks in advance.

Depends on how badly the alignment is messed up. I've replaced my struts and/or springs three times over a two and a half year span and have yet to get the car aligned. That's obviously an extreme example (which I wouldn't recommend) but my tread wear has been fine and I've seen no adverse effects yet.

For jacking up the rear, you can use the beam or the point shown in the picture below.
