Default How long should I wait...

...before I have an allignment done after installing new springs?

Finally, we installed an Eibach Pro-Kit tonight. Looks pretty good. In the front we got a drop of 1-3/8" so far, we didn't measure the back . We wanted the H&R Sport Springs, but got the run around from a seller on eBay and finally bought the Eibach springs at tirerack.com (H&R are on indefinit back order )

We will post pics later...So, how long should I wait? We put about 3k miles per month on the car.

Thanks!

We are not installing a chamber kit. The drop is only 1.5 (front & back), and we don't think it's necessary. I know that it takes a few days for the springs to settle. Should I wait until they are settled?

wait until they're settled. some cars need a camber kit, some don't, even with the exact same suspension setup. my sister has pro-kits and she needs a camber kit for the rear.

I have the same springs. In my opinion no camber kit is needed. I haven't gotten an allignment since I got it lowered in April.
