Possibly, anytime you mess with the suspension it has a very good chance of messing up the alignment. Hell you hit a pothole and a lot of times it screws it up. Youll know for sure when you put them on and drive it.

I dont know what the hell NTB is, but I got my alignment done at Sears. One old guy was like I cant do anything with it since its lowered, but a young guy was like give us a couple of hrs and it will be done (bought 4 new tires too, so it took some time).

If you have probs finding someone to do it, call this number and talk to Brent....876-5696. NOt sure if they can handle the alignment but he will know who will do it for you. He used to work at the Quaill Corners Texaco at the corner of Millbrook and Falls of Nuese, but him and his boy just opened up a shop down off Springforest Rd on Primevera Ct. He's the one that did my cam gears and timing belt.

dude no matter what they say regard less if your car is lowered they can do an alignment, unless your car is like slammed to the ground! to answer your previous question i have heard that koni adj. are nice and work really well with prokits.
