Default Did everyone get wheel alignment done after lowering?
My steering is off very little after I lowered my car about 2 months ago, I wonder would it take that long for the springs & shocks to settle in?

Nope, never got an alignment after being lowered. Been lowered ~15k miles now and no complaints.

Default After coilover installation..it is a must have
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/665/toyot1s_bothrears01.jpg"></center><p>check out this tire wear...this is what can happen to $240 tires when you DON'T get an alignment. Yes, obviously I waited too long.

Default Ditto. No need to, no camber adjustment.
UNLESS you go crazy low, you're fine.

I put on KW V3's and did not need one. No signs of abnormal tire wear.
