after ANY suspension "tweaks" its good to have an alignment done.
Usually a camber kit is required also

Where do you get $340 from? Get the SPC kit. It is $275.

i have the s-techs on my FG1, didn't get alignment, the front is just like it was (as far as the eye can see) and the rear is getting butterflied... rear camber would help, alignment wouldn't hurt but my treadwear is going as expected, had it on for 4months now

Anytime you remove a suspension part, you should get an alignment. I put my Teins on Sunday and even tho it doesn't pull or feel strange, it's getting one tomorrow. There's no way you can keep it within specs after lowering without an alignment

The SPC camber kit is 265 shipped from Corsport
