Default Silly question, should I bring car to alignment shop before I change non sport to sport?

So they can see how my car is currently setup? Or should they just know what to set my alignment to when I go there after the shock/spring install?

Thanks, sorry if a dumb question. Just want to make sure my alignment is good after the switch.

Default Not if you don't want to do it twice. You need sport shocks and springs

You'll blow out nonsport shocks on sport springs. Won't handle all that good either. Rule of thumb is do it right or don't do it at all. Suspension work will require an alignment each time and alignments aren't cheap!

I have the sport springs and sport shocks, you should really do both and not one or the other.

Very good, that is what I thought and was hoping.
