You shouldnt need to

Yes you should get it checked

No as a rule it should be ok but I would just to be sure.

Anything to do with suspension you should get alignment done yes

Should get it done.

I lowered my old fabia, burned out a set of tyres in 3 weeks. Brand new falkens gone in the blink of an eye.

Whoops

okey thanks a lot folks .  then i will have it cheked soon . hoped it wouldent be needed since it cost 160 pound here in norway . but safety is more importent than money . 

160 pound for alignment!?

That's diabolical!!!!

Still cheaper than a full set of tyres thought

its soon time for my mot so i let the garage take the aligment at the same time . mot and aligment cost 240 pound pure robbery ......... but looks like  thats normal price here in norway . 

How on earth do they justify those prices?

The most difficult car might take an hour but mostly it's a 30 minute job. Generally, it's the normal shop rate for labour x2 (to pay for the machine).

I'd do a bit more shopping around if I was you
