Alignment Question

Hey guys so I lowered my car 2.5 inches and i had it lowered for about 2 weeks and never got an alignment so my steering wheel and alignment was pretty messed up. I recently put my car back to stock and my alignment and steering wheel is still messed up. Do I need to get an alignment? I thought my cars alignment would be on stock and wouldn't need one but i think i do.

If your alignment and steering wheel are messed up, then I would say yes, you probably will need to get it aligned.

Yeah I have a feeling i would have to. I just thought that since i didn't get an alignment when I lowered my car that it would stay as stock and I wouldn't need one since the car is use to stock suspension.

Anytime you mess with suspension you should get an alignment. Whether it be to lower it, or go back to stock.

It's what I was told when I was lifting my truck and when I put it back to stock before I got my brz.
