I might get lazy and get the shop next door to do the front springs though or get the free diy loaner spring compressor from autozone. I have the lesser dropped of the two H&R springs so maybe I can get away without an alignment right away but probably not.

the adaptive suspension just has extra plugs, similar to porsche setups.
I've read a few other posts of folks getting the H&R Sports (not super-sports) and not needing an alignment... i would get it done just because i don't want to wear out the tires unevenly, but that's just me... if you could jot down any necessary tools and snap a few pics of major bolts/components that need to be dealt with during the procedure that would be most helpful! Before and After shots are always bonus too
