Default Ready for alignment?

I just bought a used Koni with ground control front setup. I've been screwing around with the ride height for a couple of days and I think I'm done.

The thing is... the right side is about 1/8 of an inch(used a tape measure) higher than the left side.

Can I get an alignment today? Or do both sides need to be dead nuts accurate? Thanks

You can get an alignment any time but if it were me I'd want to make sure my car was level before having it set up.
But I could be wrong lol

Any adjustment you'll make to ride height will impact the front alignment. So I would clean up the ride height before getting it aligned. You won't know how much that little amount could impact your tire wear sever thousand miles from now.

Set your ride height first and then match the alignment with it. Reason being is that your negative camber angle of wheel increases as your suspension compresses. For the front only.. not the back obviously.
