Question Spacers change alignment?

I recently had my suspension installed (sways, strut, coilovers, and camber kit) and my OEM sport wheels/tires are tucked so I ordered H&R DRM 20mm spacers.

The spacers are on back-order until late September.

Do I do the alignment now or wait until I receive the spacers?

Thanks

Nope. I just hope you had an alignment done after the coilovers

Your alignment should have been done when the coilovers were installed. Spacers have no effect except putting stress on areas of your suspension which will eventually fail/wear out too soon.

remember to wait about 2 weeks before doing alignment after you installed new coilovers. springs will need time to set

That's debatable. Unless you've got some cast 19's pushed out past the fender, or are tracking extensively, any extra wear is going to be pretty much unmeasurable compared to all the other factors that come into play for wear and tear. A +30 Coupe wheel will have the same suspension wear characteristics as a +45 Sedan wheel with a 15mm spacer.
