Alignment

I had a tire wear problem on my evo with 30k miles, the car is lowered on springs and i just switched them out for brand new tires, balanced and everything but i was wondering will the alignment be possible since the car is lowered??
and how long the tires will last without an alignment

As far as I have understood you want to get an alignment as soon as you make any changes to your suspension. Lowering springs should not make having an alignment impossible, I would recommend going to a place that does laser computer alignments though for precision.

Depends how hard or often you drive... Alignment is very possible with just springs. So get one!

Changing ride height changes your alignment.

def do an alignment with some place you trust. are you planning on running any camber or just stock set up? make sure to keep the toe zeroed in to avoid any unnecessary tire wear.

From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.
You must get an alignment after changing anything with suspension.
