Default swifts and alignment

I just got my swifts and installed and love the way my car drives now. I did not notice my car veering any direction while driving . Is it absolutely necessary for an alignment? I tried the search function and there is no direct answer.

Anytime you mess with your suspension it's a good idea to have it checked. It may seem okay and be okay to drive, but you don't know that for sure and just being out of toe can cause excessive tire ware. Spend a few bucks and make sure she safe to drive!

You'll 100% need one and aftermarket parts to get back in spec and have the car drive better. Wait a couple hundred miles though because the springs need to settle.
