Personally, I like to get the alignment checked when I make any suspension adjustment/changes on a car. Depending on the change, often no adjustments have to be made, but I still like the cheap peace of mind. Most tire shops will check the alignment for a few bucks. I've been using the same tire shop for over 12 years and they will check mine for free (but I only ask every 2-3 years).

@henryy370z

If I was you I would get it checked anyway. I mean when was your last alignment done to begin with? I have mine done annually or with ANY suspension change or 2 or more tires. Some cars are worse then others, given our cars hold alignment pretty well, driving conditions make all the difference. If you live in a place with shitty roads I would always stay on top of your tire pressures and regular alignments.

There are many little things that effect alignment specs from weight in the car, proper tire pressures and if you change wheel and or tire sizes. So my answer is get it checked it can't hurt.
