Alignement after lowering?

Tomorrow I will be installing a used Eibach Pro kit, some new Tokico shocks, and a Spohn Adj Panhard Bar on my 00 WS6. Do I need to get the car aligned after this? How do you adjust the camber and caster? The toe is easy enough...

Thanks for any input. Any last minute pointers would be appreciated as well.

I thought so but someone I was talking to off the forum said just to "check the toe and let it go"... I was kind of hoping I wouldn't have to get it aligned because that is something I will have to take it to a shop to get done and I HATE letting anyone else mess with my ride!

I lowered an S10 truck in high school and didn't get it aligned right away... it wore out a new set of front tires in 500 miles!! doh!

I hear ya. When I put 2" lowered control arms on my '00 Chevy, I had 6 miles to drive it to town, and the tires squealed the whole way. Luckily it was a back road, so no traffic, because I was only going about 15mph.

So after you lower a F-Body do you just take it to a shop and say I need a Alignement. Or is there any specs needed when doing a Alignement on a F-Body thats lowered?
