Default alignment after drop or wait a week?

FINALLY getting my h&r sports and kyb agx installed this tuesday. But i've heard mixed feelings about when to get an alignment. Should i tell the shop to do an alignment after they are done? or would it be better to wait a week for the springs to settle?

I believe it's best to wait. Try not to do any excessive driving during that time. Let the springs settle nice.

i would do it asap. usually places will give you any corrections free for like a month after you get an alignment from them.

i went through a set of tires and learned my lesson.

:stupid:


after dropping my Corolla I wore my 3 month old tires to the core in about 6 weeks... negative camber > me in the rear... and misaligned front end led to pushing of the RF in the front, wearing the outside edge...
