Adding New Springs -- Alignment Needed?
As my first mod, I'll probably be getting the L-Tuned springs added to my currently stock SportDesign. Is a wheel alignment in order when something like this is changed? What other suspension changes (besides springs and shocks) might warrant an alignment?

Uh Oh,
Had my L-tuned shocks and springs installed about 2 months ago and asked mechanic (NOT DEALER) to give it a 4 wheel alignment. He said that it didn't need one. I assume he checked..Car doesn't pull to either side or anything...Could it be possible that it didn't need an alignement after the L-Tuned installation? I also put on new rims and tires right after L-tuned and don't want to eat through them.

If you have SportDesign, I thought it had equivalent of L-Tuned setup? Was wondering why you're doing springs and not shocks at the same time?

The SD only has the ltuned shocks but stock springs so he is just completing the setup with the ltuned springs.
