and you know this how? you should really wait a week or two after lowering the car to get an alignment, IMO.

Why is that? Many times what people think is "springs settling" is actually the rubber suspension bushings tearing, because they are now twisted at the current ride height vs. when it was at stock height.
You need to preload the bushings by loosening the control arm bushing bolts, raise the suspension up to ride height with a jack, and then torque down the bolts.
Then you don't have to wait for "settling" and you can get an alignment immediately after lowering the car.

well its for sure the tires that squeal i was thinkin because i had some snow tires on there... different traction and plus my camber is a little off but not much. what do you mean fenders rolled? nothin rubs or anythin... it even rides nice with not much bounce.
