Alignment & lowering springs ???

Going to finally install some springs on my car this saturday. What I was wondering was how much do a set of lowering springs throw off alignment? I just got the car back from the shop and it was just aligned while it was there.

I realize camber may be off especially in the rear, but how bad would it be on my tires if I drove around after installing springs?? I won't have camber arms for at least a month so I was hoping I could wait until then to get everything aligned. Any thoughts?????

THANKS.

just drive it, the rear on those cars do not have any adjustmetn anyways without the camber arms, so ur alignment would not be changed anyways.

Thanks for the reply bud.

So the only thing thats going to be effected is camber?? I do realize that the rears are non adjustable. I am getting custom adjustable camber arms for the rear. I was just wondering if it was any harm in driving the car around for a month or so after installing the springs. The adjustable camber arms are going to require an alignment. I just don't want to do it now, and then a second time once the adjustable arms are here.

thanks again.

no harm will be done, just get it aligned after you install the camber arms!
