Default Spacers and Alignment

So I got my spacers about a couple days ago and am looking to install them very soon here, but am wondering if I need to get an alignment after the spacers are installed or is it not necessary at all? Thing is, I already have coilovers installed on my car and had alignment done after the coilovers settled in.. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks

I don't think it would be necessary unless you've done other suspension work, or suspect your car was already out of alignment before installing them.

If you didn't change your ride height, your alignment will be fine. No need to get it adjusted.

I forgot to mention this but I already have coilovers installed in my car as well as an alignment, would that change anything now that I want to put spacers? Do i still need another alignment job?
