I am not sure I did. I got mixed answers. Its $120 that can be used for other purposes. I would probably need first hand experiences to make a conclusion.

I'd definitely measure the corner weights after installing coilovers, just to be sure it's in the ballpark. If it's outta whack, you'll oversteer more in one direction, understeer more the other. Not necessarily a good thing on an already initial-oversteer-prone car, on the street or track.

$120 is nothing compared to the better handling that you get after getting an alignment. I think it's well worth it. A car that prides itself on handling... you really don't want to half-a$$ it... considering you just bought a nice set of suspension.
