Yeah, I waited a couple weeks for the springs to settle and then got an alignment. Coilovers are nice in theory but whenever you adjust anything it can throw off your alignment and/or corner balance so it ends up not being as flexible as some may think. lol.

Alignment is very important buddy. Once you loosen up those bolts down there things can shift around.

There's actually ways to do it in your garage but I wouldn't really recommend it. Takes a lot of time and measuring. Bit if you got a weekend free go ahead and try it if you can't wait.

Goodluck
