Default suspension ?.....

I'm getting ready to change out the springs, sway bars and shocks on my 77. I think I will need to realign the car due to the spring change, but I wanted to ask the brain trust here to get their opinion. Am I right?

You Wont Get Any Radical Changes Other Than Heighth Change With New Springs, But You Stiil Gotta Get It Aligned. Its Relatively Safe To Drive To Align Shop Only.

My gut feeling told me that, due to the geometry change incurred by the change in spring height. Thanks Guys!
