Default After lowering Is350.

Hi~guys!!

After I change stock springs and shocks to S-tein, do I have to get aliment?

first of all, I think you meant, LOWERING and not LOWING
and Alignment, not aliment..

anyways, it is not mandatory to get an alignment, but it is recommended
if your steering wheels starts shaking too much, then you should get one
let the springs settle first..drive around for a month or so and you'd find out

and of course. SEARCH is your friend here

You -always- have to do an alignment if you change your springs.
(unless you like buying new tires extremely often)
