Default Installed new lowering springs...get alignment right away?

Just did my suspension. They are new springs. Should I get an alignment right away or let the springs settle for a bit? Its a pretty bad alignment now and the wheels are getting some bad wear. Thanks guys.

Get an alignment. I would think in a CRX, it will take a long time to settle or sag any lower than it is already. I never noticed my spring ever settling lower than how it was when I got them and if it did, didn't notice the difference at all.

Most places will waranty the alignment so what you do is get the alignment right away. Then in 3-4 months go back and say that its pulling a little and you would like it looked at. Then you will know if your still aligned.

in all reality, if you've got bad camber, get a camber kit and then get an alignment.

Hell, i put in my camber kit, adjusted the camber, and did an alignment myself. not very hard if you're low on cash. I have almost no tire wear now.
