Im planning on getting the Eibach pro-street lowering springs. Would it be recommended to get the Alignment kit?

With mild lowering like provided with most drop spring kits there is plenty of adjustment within the factory eccentric bolts to reestablish a proper street alignment. If you're trying to run aggressive negative camber for say race tires they may be needed, but for street cars we haven't needed any more adjustment than is already built in from the factory.

Here is a copy of our alignment spec. The performance street recommendation shouldn't be a problem dialing in with the OEM hardware and an alignment tech that's taking their time.

I've heard from most, from JusticePete and Pedder's to the dealership that anytime the vehicles ride height is changed an alignment is needed. I did it when I put on my Eibach Pro Kit and the ride was good but it wasn't until I got my bushings timed did I have the nice smooth ride that I had before. It all makes a difference and I strongly recommend it. Adding sways nothing is needed but do the alignment with lowering so it can be dialed in.

I have your springs and gave my local Chevy dealer your street specs. They said the rear wasn't adjustable and the front would have to be elongated in order to reach those specs. I didn't let them cut on my car.

Well castor isn't adjustable in the front or rear but rear toe and camber absolutely are. Castor we're not worried so much about, but the Performance Street Camber and Toe are definitely within the range of adjustment.
