well you should get an alignment right after you put your suspension on, but me..... it's been three weeks since i've put my teins on and i still havent gotten it. no one will do it because it's too low, so im still in search. so yes, if u can get an alignment.

More specifically, anytime you change the ride height, you should get an alignment.
You can take off springs, shocks, LCA's, whatever as much as you want and the alignment will remain the same, as long as the ride height doesn't change.

that will still affect toe-in, so you still need an alignment. I got mine done about 2 weeks after installing my stuff. And I usually get it checked every 6 months or so just to make sure it's in check, since I'm lowered so much w/o camber kit, so toe-in settings are critical.
