i plan on dropping my car with in a week when the springs show up. " no more monster truckin..."

my question is.. i also purchased a front and rear sway bar kit and new beefed up 3/4 inch sway bar links for the front of my car and a camber kit. should i wait until after i install everything to get a front end alignment or should i do it right away after i do my springs. because its going to be a 2 or 3 week wait to get the swaybars for my car and the camber kit.

also any suggestions on where i should go to get an alignment..

sway bars don't have anything to do with alignment.

i understand that i was just curious if i should wait untill after that... i was implying that the camber kit doesnt come until the sway bars do.. maybe i should have made that clearer.

Which springs did you get? Depend on what ones you got you might want to save for some struts.

"Superior Sport Chassis springs lower your car approximately 1.25". They have a factory spring rate so the ride is as close to stock as you can get in a lowering spring. Pogo is less than Eibachs but drop is very similar. These are the latest version of SSC springs incorporating the best they have to offer! Lowering springs improve appearance and handling of your car. Life-time 'no sag' guarantee - 1.5" front / 1.3" rear drop for Cobalt - 1.25" front & rear drop for Ion - Durable burgundy powdercoating "

Yes I did. There should be directions on how much of the bump stops to cut in the box.

most the time if you get an alignment they will realign your junk if you do other work within like 60 or 90 days for free, so if its super off i would take it in if not no big deal.

Why don't you just wait until you get all the parts before you put anything on? You have had the car for awhile right? So you can't wait a few more weeks to do everything once? Thats just stupid.
