Default Eibach pro kit - Alignment needed?

I did a search !

Basically my question is, do I need to have an alignment done to the car after the installation of the Eiback Pro Kit lowered springs? Per Eibach, the springs lower the car 1" @ all four corners and I wonder if I need to realign for a very minor drop?

Track day is comming up very soon (this Thursday) so any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

Remember to get another alignment a couple oil changes down the road after the springs have settled.

Thank you very much!!! I will wait till Wednesday for it to settle a little more then do the realignment. Maybe the suspension system on the S is different than the R. On my ITR, 1" is so little to do alignment.
Thanks again for your confirmation.

Another questions. Should I bring it to Honda Dealer or any alignment shops would be able to it?

I don't want to bring it to Honda because I don't want them to know that I am "modding" the car, yet I am hesitant to have alignment shop to do it because the car is new (05 w/1600 miles) and they might not have the specs.

So, Dealer or Shop?

Thanks

Any reputable should should be able to do it, it does not have to be done only by a Honda dealer.

Ask around in your local forum and see if there is a suggested shop close to you. And feel free to ask the shop what their equipment is like. Hunter products are some of the very best in the industry, but of couse, like so many other things, it is more about the operator than the equipment...

Same situation here!(kg/mm instead of Eibach)
Want to get as good handling as I can!
Should I go U.K.or OEM alignment specs?
