What alignment do I need with Eibachs?

What type of alignment should I get now that I have lowered the car with eibach springs? I have a 997.1 Carrera, no pasm. Do I ask for a GT3 spec?

any advice is appreciated.

Be sure to set ride height first, then corner balance prior to all wheel alignment....Gt3 specs may not suit your 997. Check with owners or race shops using similar set up and tires especially size (diameter and width) and compound. Otherwise you are just guessing.

Thank you. These are eibach springs so they already come at a set height. I guess I'll just ask for the regular vehicle alignment.
thanks!

If you have changed the ride height you need a corner balance before an all wheel alignment or you will be wasting your money and wearing out tires faster than normal

Thank you for your response. Can the corner balance the car if I don't have coil overs?

Sorry, my bad thought they were coil-overs. But with a change in ride height you will need an alignment. If you go aggressive you will accelerate tire wear.
