Re: alignment question... (hatch_)
If your tires are sitting like this / \ in camber or toe, then I would say yea you should do an alignment as soon as you can.
Need more info though. How much is your car lowered? Do you actually need the camber kit?
The toe being out will eat up your tires faster then the camber being out. If your not lowered that much you may not even need the kits.

You can always get longer bolts and shim the rear until you can buy the camber kit. It's just easier to make adjustments with the camber kit vs. the shims.

i was told every two seasons here in Canada because the roads are so bad. Depends where you live i guess, but at least once a year.

you live in cali.....roads are good there. Roads in canada is a game of avoiding holes and cracks. I would have my car aligned if i were you, tho.
