Shock/Spring install

after you install shocks and springs in your car by yourself, do you need to get your wheels aligned? someone told me i did.

only toe angle can be adjusted, unless u get a camber kit. Also depends on your drop.

get a camber kit.. then get an alignment.. it'll save your tread, better braking, and handling..

YES!! everytime you drop the car you have to align the camber, do it or you will regret it later, i know i did... but yes you have to realign the toe after installing new springs/struts ... i just did mine last night, toe was off by 1 or 2 degrees...
