How long should I wait for an alignment after getting a drop on the coupe?

I'd say about 3 weeks. See if the springs settle a little.

I go with what this guy said. You need to make sure the springs settle into the strut

So I should be driving it? I was planning on just letting it sit in my driveway to settle because I didn't want premature tire wear.

Wait so do I have to drive it or not for the springs to settle? I'm confused.

you have to drive it for it to settle properly. The springs have to compress and the other parts have to move around and settle to their final position
