Using S Techs on stock struts? or changing those out as well? Depending on the age of struts it may be suggested to replace as well. Any of the 4 could be worn unevenly (think sides sagging) and adding lowering springs will only reduce coil travel further...

All in all, id say waiting about 2-3 days for the cars weight to settle is typical then you can get an alignment.

Got the springs for $75 from a guy I'm gonna put in with stocks struts it may worn out in 30-40k miles left because once that do I'm going for coilovers setup in next summer. I just want to taste what it feels like being on lowered springs before I go for coilovers setup. Just hope it doesn't worn out by then lol

Actually... the struts is about 20k miles old so it fairly new it was replaced after 100k miles and I'm currently at 121k miles.

When your car can do a circle without you turning the wheel it's time to get it aligned.
