Default Dropped on coilovers, worthin getting alignment yet?

All,

I recently installed Cusco Zero-2 coilovers. EVENTUALLY (as in in the next 6 months) I plan on doing it right and putting adjustible upper a-arms and rear camber arms on the car.

My question: Is it worth getting an alignment done now? The car is not a daily driver and is only taken out to autocross, and on nice days. I know the camber is really negative because I can see it just by looking at it, but I am most worried about toe. Would replacing coilovers effect my toe in any way? Camber does eat up tires a bit faster, but toe-in will just shred tires. Would you get an alignment done now just to be sure? Prior to the coilover install my toe-in was correct.

thanks

Neil

without front and rear adjustable pieces, you are limited to adjusting toe only - I'd probably get it checked but I'd focus on getting the rest of the pieces so you can do a proper alignment, or you'll risk killing your tires in no time

your toe may be off substantially depending on how low it went..
anytime i mess w/ suspension i always do an alignment
better to spend 100 dollars in prevention than 1000 dollars in tires
