is it necessary to get an alignment after lowering car

Hey guys, i put on a 05 revised 350z suspesnion on my car (springs, shocks/struts). Is it necessary for me to get an alignment done? my car isnt pulling on the right or left side, and it has been around a month since i got my car lowered. let me know what i should do and what type of alignment i should get if i need one.

Hey man, I was in the same situation as you. I got coupe 19's on and 07 z suspension and coupe springs in the rear. I would tell I had more neg camber in the rear once I dropped. It's not a drastic drop so I wasnt in a rush to get an alignment. I put the suspension on in july and just got an alignment in sept. I was about -2.0 on each rear and they got almost both wheels back into spec to -1.3 and -1.4. In other words, I would just go check it checked. It wouldn't hurt

You should definitely get an alignment now.. the Toe is off in both the front and rear and will cause unnecessary and uneven tire wear. fronts toed out and rears toed in. your wheels will look like \ / in the front and / \ in the rear(not to that extreme but its just so you get the idea.

camber will likely to be more negative than stock. i personally like the negative camber but it will wear your tires out faster with more camber.

Wait about a week or two before the alignment. If you dropped your car 1.5"+, get the alignment now, and bring it back in to check it a week or two later.
