If you lowered it, yes you need an alignment. It's not so much about the left/right pull as it is about improper and dangerous tire wear. If you don't get an alignment, your tires will wear out very quickly, usually around the inside edge. If you're putting new tires on in 2 weeks, it's probably okay to wait until then.

From what I've heard, you should change your shocks with lowering springs.

Ok so the bounciness isn't all that bad than ? And what does an alignment usually cost? the shocks looked fine when my boyfriend put the springs on. any other suggestions? would anyone not purchase the coil overs i got?

Alignment's usually run around $70. You should definitely get some aftermarket shocks asap, because if you are running stockers they will eventually blow out

yea, and those ebay coilovers suck. It may be lowered, but the ride is gonna be really bouncy. Get some quality lowering springs. I like to suggest Tein S-techs if you're on a budget
