I wouldnt get the alignment done right after the install, have to give it 2-3 weeks for it to settle

yes. Spending $60-$100 on an alignment after the springs settles is a good investment even with a minor drop.

I put the rear springs on my G35 (cause they're very easy to do) and drove to the garage to have the fronts done. The car still tracked straight (actually pulled to the right as usual) but the steering wheel was about 15 degrees off to the right.

So the drop won't be that much? (they based it on the lux package?)
How about the tanabe springs? I think I read it somewhere that they are based on the sport package and will drop them by 1 inch?
