I just put 4 Koni DWS shocks on my '08 Cooper S and plan to replace the run flats with non run flat tires and after market wheels. Do I need to get an alignment after all of this? Do I only have to be concerned about toe in?

 

Yes you need to get an alignment. You should get one after wheels and tires but I haven't yet and haven't had problems. I will once I put my springs and shocks on though.

 

Just a thought... If you didn't change the springs, or lower the car, there really is no reason you HAVE to get an alignment. After all the shocks are mounted to hard points, and there isn't a lot of room for error.

Is it a good idea, yes, but I wouldn't think you have to.
