new suspension

i just recently got some racer design coilovers with some kyb gr2 shocks and tenzo R strut bars. i must say i really like ride and the improved handling. though im still trying to get the right height adjusted for my car, i dont want to be skraping curbs everywhere i go, but i still want it to look lowered. also some people tell me i dont need to get and alignment done and some people tell me i must get an alignment dont whenever i alter the height of the car.

you need to get an alignament done when you lower the car. when you lower/raise it you will change the camber and the toe angles that will make your tires wear a lot faster, plus it will handle a lot better aligned.

You technically need to get an alignment done every time you change the height of the care. When you initially lower it, you're really messing up the geometry, so get an alignment.
