I have 2 lingering questions I need help on. My car has the OE sports suspension setup.

If I install standard 19" wheels/tires staggerred set-up, do I have to get an alignment, 1) If I decide to stay with the OE springs 2) If I decide to install H&R or Eibach springs. Please advise, thanks in advance.

With stock springs/dampers ... NO.

With the installation of new springs +/- new dampers ... YES.

After the spring install, do the alignment a week later.
