Default How long to wait?

My suspension just got here today and I'm going to be installing it this weekend. How long should I wait until I get my alignment done? I drive 20 highway miles each way to work every day. TIA

If your going to be 2" or lower....I would get it aligned within a week since your driving atleast 40 miles a day going to work and back. You will start to notice wear on the inner half of the tires after a couple weeks.

im going to be lowering it with eibach pros. Also, wont I notice wear on the insides regardless of weather or not I get an alignment since my camber will be off (its my understanding that there are no camber corrections without getting a camber kit)

the only thing that should go out of allignment when dropping the car is the camber, so wait till you get a camber kit and then do an allignment

nope, you'll also get some toe out which is the real killer of tires, not camber. I'd give it a couple days to a week for the springs to settle and then get it aligned ASAP.
