lowering and alignment question

[Casper42]

if and when is alignment needed?

I installed CPP drop coils - 2" front, 3" rear with lowering shocks...no new spindles, C-notch, or panhard. A test drive reveals no issues, other than an occasional pop and creak when hitting a dip or at times making a turn - likely settling new hardware.

I've read that I should drive for a week or two before having the alignment inspected/adjusted, while one pro shop recommended I have it done right away. Another said it's not needed at all unless I note a issue, because the tie rods were not disconnected/reinstalled.

Your thoughts are appreciated. Happy New Year!
