Do you need an alignment after installing lowering springs?

Umm you maybe right, but I'd have to disagree on your logic. Just because few people have done an alignment, doesn't mean that you don't need it. From my understanding, any adjustment to shocks or springs requires an adjustment. But if the springs are designed so, it may not need it.
From my experience with other cars, I would say yes. . . but I am new to Scion. Remember though, if the alignment is off, it's your tires that go first, and that's much more expensive than a relatively inexpensive alignment.

yes, you are correct, on mostly all other cars, you would need an alignment. But scions, however do not need alignment. the only people that had their cars aligned did so just to be on the safe side, not because the alignment was off. when i dropped mine, it actually improved the aligment :wink:
