Default alignment? camber kit? Need advice...

I got skunk2 coilovers put on my car, and it's about a 1.75-2 inch drop. Not sure how low but my front mudflaps are liek 2-3 inches from touching the ground. Anyway, what I want to know is..should I get an alignment, then see if I need a camber kit, or get a camber kit installed, then get an alignment?

I was told that if I got an alignment then a camber kit, that I would need to get another alignment after that. I've searched all recent and archived topics for the last 20 minutes and I couldn't find an answer that I wanted. Thanks.

ANY time you change the ride height of your car, you should get an alignment. If your camber is found to be out of spec, then you should get a camber kit, and then yes, you will have to re-align.

skunk2's dropped that much?

you better get shocks man. and KYB's won't do with those bad boys... you're gonna be lookin for koni's =\

all in all, i paid $700 for my skunk2 camber kit and koni yellows, after the skunk2 coilovers killed my stock shocks and tire tread (thanks to previous owner).

I'm totally guessing on the drop, I'll post pictures later when I get a chance. I'll prolly end up getting a camber kit and then getting koni's when my stock shocks start to wear
