I'm just wondering when you guys/gals get an alignment done. (Besides when it pulls to one direction or something.) I was told you should get a alignment done more frequently when your car is lowered (which mine is with sportlines)

i have 35k, havent needed an alignment yet. I rotate my tires every 5k and havent noticed any drastic wear, but i'm getting everything aligned when my springs go on

15,000 miles and never had allignment even after I dropped it 2" at 1,000 miles. I doesn't pull and my old tires weren't badly worn when I changed them to my 17z. I'm getting my allignment done this week when I get my camber kit and struts installed, which have been sitting patiently in their boxes in my closet.

I just had my alignment done and I have just under 20K miles. I did drop it 2" though and I live on a sh!tty dirt road that always has ruts.
