Default How long to wait for allignment after installing Suspension?

Hey guys, I am buying GF210 springs and a rear camber/toe kit to hold me over suspension wise until I have more money for a good set of coilovers. My question is, how long should i wait (if at all) after I install the parts to get an alignment? And if I DO have to wait, should I just install the springs and leave the camber kit off until getting an alignment? Thanks!

Dont wait! Install the springs, install the camber kit and toe bolts in the rear and then down jack the car and drive straight to get an alignment. since everything will be off and you will kill your tires quick. car will handle like poo poo...

if your gonna do it, do it right...

I would wait a couple days , unles you have a roadtrip planned. If you align it right away , as it settles your alignment will be off.

+1 on right away. Your slip light will be on all the time and your car will be driving crazy until you do it. Yes, your car will settle, but that will take a while.
