i usually reccomend a week after lowering before an alignment so that the new springs can settle

I did mine kind of backwards originally. I originally just did springs then I blew the front strut out and got konis.

I will still need CC plates and a PHB.

Any of you guys running the adjustable tierod ends. I mean bumpsteer kit.

kinda but at this point not really....they may shift a little, but nothing that'll throw off the alignment....it's when they are new that you should wait

I ran the bumpsteer kit for a while. Didn't like it so I put the stock back on and traded it for a set of upper/lower control arms.
