Default suspension - again

when changing from air to coilover
does the Bilstein B14 fit on the OEM tophat or is there a modification necessary?
Does it change the camber settings?
Do you need an alignment afterwards?

It is best to get an alignment after installation. Maybe about two weeks after to allow the coilovers to settle in. The camber will change since you are lowering your car.
