Default Ground Control

I have a 2000 Honda Accord Coupe and I am going to put ground control adjustable coilovers and front and rear camber kits on, but I have a question.

Once eveything is installed, and I have the car aligned with toe set..will i have to get the alignment done everytime that I adjust the height of my car up and down?

Also I need to replace the factory shocks to correspond with the new above set up but not wanting to spend an arm and leg for the shocks, any suggestions of a decent brand.

Need of Help.............

technically you need to get an alignment every time you change the height of the car....but I adjust the height often and never bother with getting an alignment.

Yes, you need an alignment when u change the height of the car, just a camber adjust.

Good shocks with GC coilover set that you bought are Tokico Illuminas and KYB AGX. Koni yellows are good but not compatible with that set since the one you bought are for stock, tokico, kyb, and some other shocks.

The only thing it technically should change is camber...so unless you have a camber kit...then don't even worry about it. If you do have a camber kit you could even eyeball the camber and get it pretty close to where you want it. There is some leeway in camber spec unlike toe settings. Toe you want perfect or you'll eat tires. Camber spec is 0 to -1.5 I think in rear, and the rear is what's gonna change a lot. Front won't change much until you are lower than 2".
