i would...when you lower the car...the wheels will toe out wearing the inner tire out quickly...i would drive the car for a couple of weeks prior to alignment to allow the car and springs to settle

You should get the car aligned if you can. Chances are it will not be a huge issue, but better to be safe then sorry.

By lowering the car the camber will become more aggressive which in turn will help in handling. However, the downfall is that you will eat up your tires at a much quicker rate. Either way I highly recommend you align the car.

Not at all. They sold me the springs and installed them
prior to taking delivery. They do all types of mods to
their customers cars...GIAC, exhaust etc.

Guess I should ask my local dealer if they'll be nice and cooperative about such things...

Both of my local dealers nixed the spring idea, in fact they claim several parts of warranty wil be void. Guy even said if I don't use N rated tires it will make problems... so picky.
