Default alignment after suspension removal???

Hi guys, I'm swapping in a type s suspension in my base RSX. As far as I know the ride height doesnt change, so do I have to get an alignment with the new sytle suspension? I know with the integras/preludes/civics, if the suspension was removed then reinstalled and the height didnt change you were okay.

Thanks for the help.

recommended you get an alignment after any suspension part you remove/replace

Why are you putting Type S suspension on your base...it's the same exact thing. The only slight difference may be in shock valving.

Yeah the shocks are valved slightly stiffer. I got a great deal on these from a H-T member, and my stock set has 100K on it.

Don't get your hopes up too much. Even the OEM Type S shocks can hardly handle the OEM springs.

The RSX (any) is so under-dampened from the factory it isn't funny.
