That raises a question I've had: I work at home and only use my car to run to local errands, so I end up averaging around 15-20 miles a week, most weeks...how long should I wait for them to settle before going in to get an alignment?

Anyway, get an alignment AFTER the springs have settled.

That's a toughy. It should also settle with time, but with less usage, it might take a little more. I think with regular usage, the springs should settle within 2 weeks, not completely sure tho. You can always go on a spirited run if your alignment is not off. My alignment didn't seem off after I installed my suspension parts. It drove straight, but I got an alignment done about a year later. LOL.
