Default Rear Spring Alignment

When I change the rear spring, do I need an alignment?

Thus, if you change the rear spring but maintain the original ride height, alignment will be fine. :)

I just put a fiberglass spring on my car and it wants to pull to the left. I'm gonna have to get it aligned. So in my experience the answer is yes.

I plan to keep the ride height the same, or at least the same as it should be. Right now one side sits 0.5 inch lower than the other. So hopefully alignment should be fine after spring change. :chevy
