Yup...I'd give it a couple weeks to settle in then get the alignment

Suggestions with what? Get the teins then wait, then get an alignment.

Case closed...

If you're looking for other spring suggestions, try searching the forums.

Yes, do not trust the alignment shop to do the right thing. Demand that you see their "after" specs BEFORE the car is dismounted from the machine. Proof read the printout against known oem tolerances and don't allow for wide variation's in rear toe/camber side to side. In the front just make sure that the toe is even side to side. Do not be surprised if front camber is off side to side, normal and it can't be changed without buying a kit.
