When to Get an Alignment
Hey guys
Decided its finally time to lower the S. Went with the Tein S-Tech springs since she is my DD and don't want to go too low. I found a nice DIY on S2000turbo.com so I'll be following that when I install the springs. However, on that DIY it says you should get an alignment 1-2 days after the install, while searching on here brought up threads where people waited up to 2-4 weeks after. So I just wanted to get all of your opinions on how long I should wait. Thanks.

it really depends how many miles you drive, you can have the car in storage for 2 years and it still would settle.
give it like a tank or two to let the bushing, mounts to sit probably.
it's a good time to check for bolts torque, the seat of teh spring before going to the alignment, sometime you'll end up with a corner higher because the butt of the spring isn't sitting again the seat/spring rest
