Post Questions with lowering car

I plan on lowering my car with the RSR downs In a week or two. Is it required for me to have an alignment afterwards? If so do I get an alignment immediately after installation? Or do I wait a week or two for the springs to settle in to align?

You can wait for a little bit, but its dangerous to drive the car out of alignment. And it will also wear the tires out fast.
When you lower the car you need to adjust toe mostly, and depending on which lexus you have it might need an aftermarket arm to compensate for the lower ride height

I have the RSR Downs as well. My alignment went out of whack right after the spring install. I believe you have to drive it 200-500 miles on it to let the springs settle, then get the alignment. The car drove weird after the drop but after the alignment it felt way better. 100% get an alignment
