Default Brakes & Rotors (Alignment?)

I replaced my rotors and brake pads for all four wheels with a friend of mine, but I was wondering if I need to have do an alignment? we jack up one side and completed front and rear, then did the other side. It was fairly easy but I think it's not aligned now, do people always get an alignment done after rotors/pads replacement?

^I fully agree; there should be no need for an alignment due to the brake job. Now, if you think you need an alignment for other reasons...definitely get one.

one of my tires is dying I think that might be the cause of shifting right. I am going to replace two of my tires. After that I will see if I need to get an alignment done. Thanks guys, couldn't be happier with aftermarket slotted roters and I don't feel a decrease in brake power. Hopefully low dust pads as they claimed.
