Default alignment with eibach sportlins?

Should the dealership be able to align the front with the sportline springs or do I need to get some adjustable A-arms? One dealership already said they cannot do it, but I have not read were anyone else had any problems. If I do need a set would would be better upper or lower?

My car aligned fine on stock arms. Had a shop that specialized in alignments do mine though, not the dealership.

I had mine aligned at an alignment/front end specialty shop with my Pro-Kit. Stock A-Arms.. No problems. Dealership can be full of **** at times. If it's not stock, they typically don't like to mess with it.

It took the guy almost one hour to get mine dialed in just right but it was well worth the wait.

^ Yeah.. with a drop, it will most likely be a full alignment. No toe and go with this deal. I had them check my thrust angle too just to be sure.
