Long to wait till alignment job?

hey Guys, quick question....how long should you wait after you install lowering springs till you get an alignment job?

I installed Tein`s SS on the front and cut the stock rears on the back on sunday afternoon.

When I got my H&R's installed I was told to wait a couple of weeks for my springs to settle a bit before getting an alignment. I never did, LOL. Thankfully nothing was too far off besides the horrible camber. When I installed my full coilovers, the toe was so bad driving was actually dangerous. I had it aligned not 24 hours later.

you can go the second after you get them installed, I did. Nothing much was off, but I still got the alignment.
