Alignments

So I installed isc coilovers and b2 spacers today, I was wondering do I have to go get an alignment done? I hate giving my car to other people/shops for them to work on it especially if I'm not there....

Yes you do, I was always taught any suspension changes needs an alignment and my car was horribly out of alignment after lowering mine with coilovers. When you're not there? Why not stay and watch? I filmed mine being aligned. Mainly because it was such a ridiculous sight with all the boards to get on the rack haha.

After changing any part of the suspension you should get an alignment. And unless you're able to do that yourself...

As everyone else stated, definitely get an alignment. Since you installed coilovers, I'm assuming you lowered the car as well. That means that your toe is probably all messed up now. Unless you have LCA's in the rear and camber bolts/plates/slotted lower mounts on the front, you won't be able to adjust camber. They should at least be able to get your toe back to spec though.
