So I just lowered my car on RSR downs was wondering if I should take the car for alignment right away or wait till the springs to settle. Would it hurt to take the car for alignment before they settle or I have to do it right after they're installed?

 

Wait for the springs to settle then get the alignment.

 

After 300-500 miles

 

I always do an alightment right after and then two weeks after. The guys knows and have no problem with doing it twice for me, the 2and alightment always require a little adjustment after the thing settles

 

Just wait unless the shop doesn't mind doing labor for free a second time. a few days is plenty of time to settle.

if your car drives massively crooked, you can DIY the front toe in using a method i detail in one of my past threads.

happened to me before.. lowered my 3IS , car drove massively crooked with steering wheel cocked. i eyeballed my suspension using pro e46ct techniques including after a test drive, got under and adjusted the toe and bam.. car drove straight after.

so you can get your car very close with your eyeballs and a couple wrenches so you don't shred your tires!

 

Wait a couple weeks and get the alignment done.
The car will only settle as quickly as you drive it, but likely in a couple weeks you have driven it enough.
Realistically you can have it done right after and then in a couple weeks, it's really just the cost to you. Guaranteed in a couple weeks it will need adjustment, regardless if you did the alignment right after or not.
You could save the coin for another mod instead.

 

Okay thanks for the feedback guys, is there a way to tell when the car is fully settle? the finger gap of the fronts is around 1 finger while the back is 2 finger gap. Would it go even lower than that?

 

I don't think it would go any lower after a couple of weeks.

 

I'm thinking wait a little longer. Only been a few days right? As suggested I'd wait until 500 miles.

I have same springs and mine is lower than yours sounds like.

 

I've had the springs installed since last Tuesday. I've driven around 100 miles and my alignment is lightly off, but not too tilted. Here's how she's sitting currently.

 

That drop looks good
