Is this serious? Why is a poll needed for a question with a blaringly obvious answer?

See the silver line?? That's my steel belt showing...

2 months after I lovered my car on coilovers..... It's always better to. Some people get lucky though. I know someone who drive on the same tires for over a year with no alignment and they were fine.... better safe than sorry...

Ouch Gennie, that musta sucked. I always live on the springs/coilovers 1 week, alignment 1-2 weeks after to let the springs settle some.

Haha i was that one person she knew that went without an alignment for a year. After i installed my cusco coilovers the car drove straight so i didnt worry about it. 15000 miles later on i got new tires and an alignemnt. i was just lucky i guess.

how often do you want to have to buy tires. i have seen sets destroyed within 1000 miles of a height adjustment and no alignment
