Default Tein Flex A coilovers for ISF fit 2gen IS350?

Apologies if this is a stupid question, but I've seen threads talking about switching an ISF suspension into a 2gen IS350, so I thought I'd ask. Someone's selling a set of new Tein Flex A coilovers for an ISF that never got used because he sold the car. I'm looking for that very model of coilover kit for my 2006 IS350.

Would they fit my car?

They probably fit, but I would say not to use them on your car, because the ISF suspension (which would include coilovers) is tuned for a heavier front end due to the 5.0L V8. This could potentially throw off your suspension

Did some more research of my own. Turns out the Tein Flex A coilovers, model VSQ22-D1SS3, fit 2006-13 IS250/350 RWD and 2007-14 ISF RWD. So they're good for the car, and I just picked them up for a nice deal.

Installation guy says to wait a couple weeks for the springs to settle before doing an alignment. Does this sound kosher?

He basically only does suspension mods, so I assume he knows what he's talking about. But won't the car drive funny without an alignment?

Springs don’t really settle. Get it aligned when you’re ready.
