Lowering My Car...In Need Of Advice
Here is the deal. About 2 years ago I installed Tien S-Techs on my 05 xB. Rode great for awhile but I got a nasty flat on the inside of the front passanger tire. I checked the drivers side and it was totally bald. I took it to the Goodyear and he said he wouldn't even touch it because it was lowered. So instead of getting a second opinion, I took the springs off and had the guy replace the tires. Well just last week, my front driver's side got a flat and it was the same things as last time. When I checked the passanger side, sure enough bald as a babies ___. And remember this is with the stock springs. So I took it to Pep Boys, they replaced the tires and did an alignment, so now the car is straight.
So after all of that, here is my question. Is it necessary to get the car realigned after lowering it? Or can I now put the springs back on now that it is properly aligned? I loved the look of my car when it was lowered nad I have these practically brand new springs sitting in my garage. Can anyone help me out??

I have the prosmort ebach and the rear toe was off and the dealer shimmed it. No strange wear here. That sounds more like a camber/caster thing. Not sure there is much of a stock adjustment adjuster. You may need to buy some parts to get that adjusted out.
