I did two. One right after install and the second one after 2 weeks. If you only want to do one, wait a few weeks.

A good 2 weeks should be about good, unless you hardly drive lol.

if you don't mind me asking why did you do two? i would think that it would be more cost efficient to just wait and do one alignment no? unless I'm missing something. curious because i am getting springs and wheels installed in the upcoming weeks

You want to wait a week or two due to allowing the springs to settle. Once the spring settle into place, your car will be at its natural stance. I have RSR down springs. Camber, and Toe will be off. Just remember that to dial the car in camber should be the same on each side ( regardless if its out of spec ) and toe should be at 0. As long as everything is equal on all 4 corners, you'll be fine. I got 23k miles out of the stock tires. I put spring on the car around 1500 miles to give you an idea. I drive aggressively too.

Now Im looking for brakes!
