Getting f-sport springs and shocks installed on Thursday. How long should I wait before I do an alignment?

I'd wait a week. There's the whole debate that you should let the springs settle but they really shouldn't settle.

On a different car, I waited 1-2 weeks before I went for an alignment.

Did the same for both lowering springs and later when I switched to coilovers

A week or two to let everything "settle", even though some say springs aren't susposed too settle.

A week is the rule of thumb. Even Tommy@MusicBox confirmed this.

I have the same set up on IS350, toe was out of spec on one wheel after lowered. I also got a little more negative camber -1.3 to -1.8 or so I forgot.

Alignment results
Here is my alignment results sheet. Shop recommended to monitor the tire wear and possibly get camber kit. What do you guys think?
