HELP suspension question

i have a 2001 e320. i would like to lower it with the eibach sport kit. i didn't put on my rims yet. my question is..after lowering, what needs to be done? do i just need to get the repair bolts from the dealer for the front, as well as rear adjustment kit and alighnment?... when i lower it, do i need to let it settle first before doing alignment and rear camber kit? any help would be greatly appreciated....

depends on the weather
it is a common misconception that you need to let the suspension settle abit before an alignment ... I always do alignment directly after installation of lowering springs or any suspension component replacement
