Alignment needed after coilover install?

Hey guys. I am having Tein basic coilovers installed today and I am wondering if I should get an alignment as well. Some people never align, some people wait until the car settles. Do you guys have an opinion?

Thanks!

The people who never align are robbing themselves of tire life and better handling. What ever you do....Get an alignment!!!!

Re: Alignment needed after coilover install?

depends on how low you drop your car. if you drop it too low, some places won't be able to get your car onto the alignment machine (happend to me), some places won't align your car if its dropped too because it's very hard to do...if you plan on changing ride height every so often, does that mean you have to re-align your car each time too? maybe its the places around here, they just suck and are too lazy to align my car, hehehe.
