Just installed lowering springs, can i skip alignment?

Yeah I figured the toe would be a little off. Arent the RB springs very mild in their drop too? How far off was your toe after installing the RBs?

Ive got the manzo brand springs on mine and they ride nice and give a nice drop at 1.2 in. Did you upgrade your struts as well or keep on the stocks?

I honestly don't remember how far toe was off, but I did add camber bolts at the same time so I could max that out. The drop is small, but there's a nice little bump in spring rate too. I am running the corksport adjustable damper kit, as well as their front swaybar and rear torsion bar. The car is a blast to drive, with hardly any practicality lost due to the mild drop. At least as much fun to drive as my miata (though the limits are way higher in the miata, which I think may be what makes it less fun when I'm not on the track).
 
The fsb was a little more work than on most cars to install since you have to lower the front subframe. Not difficult, just more time consuming. Since I couldn't get my subframe to go back in EXACTLY the same spot, I got the car re-aligned afterward. Definately a worthwhile install though. Turn-in was improved significantly and with my setup I noticed more oversteer, likely due to more grip up front (less dynamic camber loss).
 
Hey I'm looking at installing the Manzo springs myself, wondering if youre still happy with them and if you found resources on how to install. Thanks for your insights.
