Default alignment after suspension install question

Is waiting 2 weeks after a suspension and wheel/tire install okay? That's the only time I have the opportunity but don't want to harm anything.

pretty good. I have the fronts set on 4 (highest) and the back on 3, usually. The ride isn't terrible. It handles pretty well too, very flat. When I had the fronts on 3 for a highway drive the other day, my girlfriend said it felt better than stock in the comfort department. Personally, I like them on 4 all around but it does get a little bouncy. I dropped the car 1.5 inches so it looks much better and I don't have any trouble with bottoming out.

You should be ok. It just gets to be a bitch to drive with a bad alignment. Your camber may be a little off, but I doubt that will damage your tires much in 2 weeks time (unless its severely off, but with a 1.5" drop, I seriously doubt it).

Rotating your tires every now and then will prevent uneven tire wear to a certain extent as well.

if thats your earliest convenience than yeah i guess its aight.. make sure to have your toe angles in check when u get your alignment done and to rotate your tires... not sure what set up you have (edit: just looked at your sig)... if its not too low you shouldnt need a camber kit.. make sure they (alignment shop) set your toe

I waited almost 2 weeks to get mine done, because the following weekend after installing my stuff I knew I was going to be pulling my rear suspension to adjust the spring perch. I also had to install the 4th Koni from when one of them broke during the install. I didn't have any noticeable problems. I'm dropped almost 2" all around w/ -2.1 deg. camber front left, and -2.4 front right. If I remember correctly the rear was around in the -1.5 range. I will rotate every 5K or so. I've had the suspension on over 3K miles now and no noticeable abnormal tire wear. My tires have 20K miles on them now and still at least 50% tread depth left! I my tires.
