Default Lowered...ready for alignment?

Ok, so I have lowered my Z06. Removed the bolts up front. Still on the stock rears, but cut bushings down to just one little bushing ring on the top bushing and the same on the bottom one. Then I left about 2 threads showing on the rear bolt. Stance looks fine to me.

How long til you guys waited for an alignment?

Also, do the leaf springs sometimes get moved to the left or right?

I seem to have mine maybe a little closer to the passenger side wheel on the rear compared the one on the driver side. THOUGH, it could be related to alignment as well.

I drove mine a couple of days before getting an alignment after lowering. Only to make sure everything had adjusted before taking it in.
