Default when to get an alignment

i just lowered my car today with eibach sportline springs and installed kyb agx springs with a progress group camber kit and got 17 konig tantrum last week and i was wondering if i should get the alignment done right away since i just redid the suspension or wait 2-3 weeks to let the springs and shocks settle in before i should get it align. what do you guys think?

Should get it done right away...whats the point of waiting...I may be wrong but springs dont settle...if they do I dont think its significant enough.

Not sure in your area, but some places here you get an alignment and they will re-adjust for the next 2/3 months or 6000/mi

ask any spring installation place, wait at least 1-2 week

doing an alignment before that is a waste of money

the alignment people also said to wait and drive it between 300-500 miles to let the spring settle in if it does any.
