Default Wheel alignment advice

I am new to this awesome forum and glad to see so many useful information. Well, I just read somewhere that if you put springs on our cars we need an alignment and same goes for coilovers. Because coilovers are adjustable so you can adjust you ride height at your disposal. Does it mean every time I adjust my ride height, I will need an alignment? I would sincerely appreciate any assistance you experts can provide.

Thanks..

If you change the springs on any vehicle you need to get an alignment unless it has solid axles. In the case of coilovers I would think so long as you dont do anything too radical you should be able to get it aligned once and be alright.

this^ pretty much if you go anymore than 1-1.5" from original alignment, id get it re-alligned just incase

and also, these cars only need a front end alignment. rear is set
