Red face Rear lowering springs

I am about to install Cobalt SS/TC rear springs in my '07 Panel to to lower the rear 1 inch and level the stance. Do I need to have an alignment after I let them settle in for a hundred miles or so? It looks like a solid axel and a straight up and down set up. I don't want to chew up tires with a bad camber and/or toe in. Thanks guys and gals for any info.. Joe

Just remember when you lower the rear...your headlights will need to be adjusted. Todd (uma)

Sounds good, I think you will be pleased with the better handling & improved appearance as well...

I installed the SS/SC springs, and Elvis dropped more than an inch in the rear. I have not changed the alignment and tires seem to be wearing fine. Handling vastly improved, as did the looks, and the ride as well (no more pogo stick in back). My headlights have not been adjusted, and I have not yet been flashed by oncoming traffic. Just my 2 cents worth, for what it is worth. Your results may vary. God Bless, Marc
