Default Alignment after spring swap?

Guys, if you change your springs and drop less than 1inch, will you need an alignment absolutely? Thanks.

It's always nice to have it checked out. You might of had problems before hand you didn't know about. But yes, have it checked. It shouldn't cost any more to have the actual adjustments made if any.

Abso-f#cking-lutely, I had my dealership install the S-tune suspension as soon as the car got off the truck. It looks like the car was so low that they couldn't get it onto the alignment rack. Apparently they have never heard of the idea of using a 2x4 to get the car on. Anyways, 500 miles later I had to rear bald tires. Nissan tried to screw me and claimed that I must have been driving like a bat out of hell. Ultimately I took the car to a specialty shop and they verified that the alignment was 1 degree off (inwards) on both rear tires. I was scrubbing my rear tires. I forward all of my information to Nissan and they finally fessed up and payed for everything (new tires, alignment, diagnostic, mounting, balance, etc).

So long story short, YES. Make sure you get an alignment after you change your suspension.
