if you get the kit, and have decent coilovers, and take it to a shop and get it aligned, and leave the coilovers the hell alone, it can stay good. but its tough to get everything right and leave it.

more then likely it would get messed up...when u get an alignment...anytime really but especially with coilovers get a lifetime alignment ...it costs more but u can take it back and get it realigned for free
