Nah!  You don't need to change the alignment after changing the ride
height.  That would be ridiculous.  You know what you're talking bout
Jason (unlike most people I know around here =).  The ride height does
nothing to the angle of the wheels.  The only reason you'd change it
would be to get more grip but that's the same with any suspension
setup.  I still haven't done my alignment on my 16v because I marked my
eccentric bolt and the alignment is perfect still!  I've changed the
height many a time too.  Sheesh, imagine if I had to get an alignment
every time!  Damn, I'd be pissed.
