Default getting aligned

well tomorrow (monday) ill be bringing my new tires to my uncles shop to have my new set of Vredestein Sessanta tires mounted on my 19" volks te37, and also going to take my tpms off my stock wheels to put it in my volks, obviously im gonna have my wheels aligned by him before i drive out of the shop.
but my question is, later in the week when my spc camber kit comes in the mail, im taking my car to edo proformance to have them lower my z on tanabe gf210 springs which i bought from another member here. after the spring installation, and camber install and adjustment, would i have to get another wheel alignment? or sinse i just got a alignment a few days ahead, i wouldnt have to get another one?

i know it would be smart to do it at one time, but i cant lower the car untill the camber and driveway ramp gets here which should be later this week, and i cant wait to mount on new tires cuz my tires are pretty much gone and i need it for my daily driving. and also because my uncle can swap tpms and balance for free. and he dont approve of me lowering the car thats why edo proformance is doing it

i wouldnt bother aligning it after tires mounted, but its free. Hell i drove my car after i lowered and had the kit installed for a whole month. But defintely after u lower it and spc kit u will need alingment again. u will feel it and see it.

Wait for the alignment after you get everything done.

^^ Anytime you do a change in your suspension /springs, you need to check the alignment. Just take it back to your uncle’s shop and have him check it. It isn’t worth taking a chance since summer/performance tires are expensive.

I have the GF 210's, after a month and a half the inner part of my rear tires were down to wires. get the alignment a week or so after the drop so the springs have a chance to settle good.
