Should I wait for the new springs to settle before alignment?

I just installed vogtland springs with comp g struts fron and rear. Car now tracks to the right. Should i wait for the springs to settle down to get my alignment? Or should i get my alignment today? I was reading on other forums and saw both arguments for waiting two weeks vs getting aligment done now as to not mess up your tires. Also some guys claimed that they got their aligment done along with their new susensions and noticed uneven tire wear after their springs settled. Need advice.
 


id get it aligned asap, but make sure your alignment has a warranty. this way you can go back in a few weeks or a month to have it re checked or adjusted for free.

firestone does a 6 month warranty with the 70 dollar alignment here. life time warranty is like 150 or so.
 
Well align now then align again down the road. Seriously you just put on new springs and struts.. Your alignment is going be be off quite a bit. Plus springs usually take a few thousand miles to settle.. Riding with your current set up is just going to be a no no on tire wear.
 
i bet its worth it to pay the toll for the bridge and come to NJ for the alignment.

asap, then go back in 3-6k for a recheck as by then the issolators should be set and the springs will have settled in that any future drop wont change anything measurably
 
Great idea about Firestone. Thanks guys! I got my car aligned and found myself in jersey doing the control arms on my sister's Volvo xc 90. After this experience, I will never touch her Volvo again!
