I currently have a stock suspension GTPP. I'm getting the FRP Track kit, BMR CB005, Steeda subframe alignment dowels, Steeda rear diff inserts, and BMR verical toe links installed. My question is how long or how many miles (if any) should I wait for an alignment? Or should I get an alignment immediately after the install and then again once the suspension settles?

I searched and saw threads saying wait a week or so for springs, but this would be more than just the springs.

Also, for a daily driver, should I get the cc adjusted plates or run it with the FRP track camber caster specs?

The last time I had a suspension overhaul was 10 yrs ago on my previous GTO and I remember they had me drive it for a about a week before I brought it back for an alignment. My suspension mods to that car were similar (struts, shocks, springs, and most of the bushings).

Thanks for any input.

I had springs, alignment kit, and rear subframe bushings installed. Alignment didn't look much different at all and was told to wait a week for springs to settle a bit. Took it to my dealership and they told me it looked straight and not too far off, wasn't really anything to change.

Then again I don't think it's going to settle that much more so couldn't hurt just getting it done right after. Have heard multiple times that there isn't really that much to do for alignment on these cars.
