No alignment needed with spacers. You did nothing to the suspension, so no aligment is neccessary.

I had to have mine aligned after spacers. By adding extra width it tends to exaggerate any existing flaws in the factory alignment.

You have to wait a few days for the suspension to settle out.

It will look even better once this happens...

Yeah, wait 1-2 weeks leeor then get an alignment. Please update us/review on the Eibachs. I wonder if they are better matched springs to the stock shocks compared to the H&R's. I'm not 100% satisfied with my H&R's...
