After installing springs....
at this web site..
http://www.stangnet.com/tech/spring3.html it says to get an alignment after the install...bc it says you'll really need one. Now, if I already got one a while back, would I need to get another one? |

yes. because once you put shorter springs out front the camber will be WAY off. and you WILL eat though tires eventually.

i didnt do one, my tires are doin decent but then again ive made 50+ runs at the track. So with that said with rotates, they seem to be doing great for what they have been through. i put my springs on about a month after new tires.

Its always good to let your springs settle a bit first then get a alignment. That way the camber wont be off even more as if you were to get it aligned right after doing it.

I waited awhile before I got the alignment, I was still on stock gatorbacks, when I got the new tires first thing I did was get the alignment.
