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.
