Default When adjusting coilovers....?

When you all adjust your coilovers does the car automatically need to be aligned as soon as that happens? My car has a nice stance but where i'm living the stance doesn't match the surrounding terrain that it needs to be driven over on a constant basis.

I have the function and form type 1s for a 95 EM1

I appreciate the help

Technically, yes you would need an alignment. Change the height and it's going to change camber, which then changes the toe.
I would highly recommend investing in a life time alignment. It will pay for it self after 3-4 alignments.
IMO, even if you don't plan to adjust the ride height often, it's good to have.

get an alignment as soon as possible. i've gone up to a week or so before going in for one due to work/school/whatever.

i have a lifetime alignment plan with firestone and it's already paid for itself 2-3 times.

ANY time you mess with ANY suspension parts, you should get an alignment.
