I just ordered some Koni yellows for my integra. I plan on installing the shocks on my car as well as new springs at the same time. How long should it take for my springs to break in? When should I get an alignment? By the way, the springs I will use are Skunk2 coilovers.

 

Any quality spring such as Skunk2 does not break in. So as soon as you get them on go get an alignment h:

 

give it at least 2 weeks so the springs can settle in then go ahead n alignment it

 

before u align it, have someone measure the distance between the center of your wheel to your fender. The rears should be the same to each other, and the fronts should be even with each other, but not all four have to be even. Even though this is a crude adjustment, its better to have your heights even to the best of your abilities before u bring it in to get aligned.

 

what kind of drop are you getting? race or sport? if you're getting a sport drop "nothing lower than 1.75inches" then you should be okay w/o an allignment.... if you go lower than 2 inches... I suggest you get a camberkit before you get your alignment done...

 

I've already got a camber kit and my car is actually currently aligned right now. It's just that I'm going with a new set of springs and new shocks and figured I'd need a new alignment.

 

I'm pretty sure you will need an alignment, even if camber "looks" okay, because other things get all f'ed up like toe.
