Balancing after Lowering? (Springs)

[KurtMP3]

Im putting Spool Springs on this week or next - i know i have to balance after i lower the car but my question is should I drive the car for a week or so lowered to let the car setup and then get it balanced or should I put the springs on and immediately balance the car the next day?

Thanks in advance for any advice

you mean align right?

[KurtMP3]

Ya, same thing arent they? pretty much?

I say wait a day then alignment time
But bump for a few other opinions

Kurt, if there is immediate misalignment, then i'd go for the alignment right away. if not, then let the springs settle for a week or two and then align it. b/c it's a FWD, a two-wheel alignment is all that's necessary. if you're paranoid and want to make sure everything is ok, go for the 4-wheel alignment.

balance is what you do to tires after you just mount them on a rim. You add little weights on the rims to balance it out... yeah you need alignment.
