Default how long do i wait between spring installation and alignment

i just paid for the eibach prokit ive been wanting for a while :D and they r supposed to come next week.

after i install the springs, should i get an alignment right away or should i drive around for a while and let them settle ?

what kind of installation and alignment prices am i looking at

might as well let them settle. if they settle a significant amount it will change camber a little and could possible even change toe and caster and all that a lil as well. wont be too significant but hey, perfect is better than close to perfect thats what i would do at least

Dude, dont start. I know you been helpful but keep it simple and clean. There is IM/PM for you and your buddy's little chat. Not flaming you but that's how i see it.

may i ask you how long you been here?
the accord forum under the supervision of Nick M is nothing like today's
Nick check the forum everyday and whoop every noob's buns.

Hmmm, interesting.

I personally would wait a week with mild travel distance each day. You'd be fine.

as you mentioned hes a mod (or was a mod, but im pretty sure ive seen him around the board a couple times). i dont know him personally. im not trying to start anything im just trying to have a lil fun on the board and give some helpful information while im at it. if the mods dont like it then they can let me know and then i will hold back on OT discussion. im not here to make enemies or break any rules, like i said, just trying to have some fun.
