you should do an alignment after your lower and put new wheels on. it should be the last step.

 

Do it after you put on your new wheels and lower your car...your readings will be way off if you don't get a camber kit.

 

Camber won't be way off. The added negative camber can actually make the car handle better.

The toe will be off, and it will eat your tires. Align ASAP.

The key word is CAN. Camber will make your car handke better but not within spec, and probably at around 3 degrees, whic will also eat your tires out. Leave camber at less then 1 degree

 

toe kills, camber helps to a certain extent. Thats why a car handles better with lower suspension. Do alignment last.

 

thanks guys,

very quick and simple.
