It is advised you do so after all the suspention has settled down, otherwise you may find in a few months time uneven tyre ware.

Having said that... I have not as of yet, been lowered for a year!  :P

I was told on my last car to get it done after the springs were fitted and I will be doing it again when/if I have springs or coil overs fitted.

From the outside the tyres looked brand new, the inside was pretty worn down

For the sake of around £50 get it tracked up. Makes a big difference if done correctly

No. Get a decent 4 wheel alignment done.
