Default New Brakes = Alignment

Sup guys, i need an alignment bad. Bad camber basically ate away my blackies. I did a rear disk brake conversion, btw. I am putting on my other rims today. So the question for you guys is this, if i go do an alignment, would it be thrown off again if i decide to change my rear brakes? I am asking because i don't want to be doing it over again. Also, for an alignment, do you guys think Just Tires would be a good place to take it. Or for you So-Cal people, do Savas do a good alignment job? Thanks for your inout guys.

You already did the rear disc conversion...

So you're just gonna change the pads & rotors?

Shouldn't require an alignment

Yes, if you do a rear disc conversion where you removed the suspension components, an alignment is required. I did on my EK hatch, CRX and EK Sedan and I had an alignment done right after. No problems with alignment after that.

Oh just replace the disc and pads? No alignment needed then, i thought you had just dine a rear disc conversion. I have never had an alignement done at Savas but I know DTC (Discount Tire Cebter) charges like $160 fora lifetime alignment.

Damn, i should have seen that lifetime thing earlier. I went to just tires in the morn. Charged me 80 for all four. The rears were awful. I had changed the suspension like 4 or 5 times since doing an alignment, plus the rear disk brake conversion. The car feels so much better, more stable.
