lol

Yes, your springs will settle, and the noise will probably go away. This process takes 2-6 weeks depending on what type/brand of lowering springs you bought. My car took an entire month to fully settle on eibachs.

Yes, I would absolutely recommend getting it aligned now, and you may have to do it again after it settles. When my suspension finally sat down my camber went nuts.

Why would he get it aligned now? Driving on it for a week before it settles isn't going to do any major damage. But yes, after it settles get an alignment.

depends on how much he drives and how bad it throws the alignment off. it doesnt take long to throw your tires off.

Until it settles completely the alignment is going to be out as soon as he leaves the shop. The alignment isn't going to change enough during the settling that its going to do any damage, unless the alignment was already fucked, in which case the damage would have already been done lol.

9 times out of 10 on these installations something gets knocked out of place in the process. You can be as careful as you want, but I still see this all the time. That's why I say go ahead and have it done.
