I just installed the KYB AGX with Tein S-Tech. Do I really need an aligment. Will it damage anything besides the tires? Thanks.

No obvious damage besides tire wear, but how important are tires?

Also, can you post a side photo of your car with new suspension kit installed??

Absolutely. Is your car a daily driver? If you spend more time in traffic and commuting on roads then that is what the car should be set up for.

Ideally what you want to do with your alignment for your street car is limit excessive tire wear unless you really enjoy buying tires like I do!
