Alignment after lowering

[Lowblock]

Hey guys, for all of you who have lowered your X, has it been difficult to align afterwards? I am debating lowering mine however after getting a flat this weekend and seeing the inside of my rears scrubbed to the point I have to replace both, I don't know if its a good idea.

My brother works for a large local tire chain and he said after talking to his alignment tech that the truck cannot be aligned after lowering. The guy seems to be pretty good as he has worked on both my e39 and e36.

I plan on going with the H&R kit with the springs in front and the little bar that goes in the back for the air bags. Also, I would like to get a set of sway bars, however eibach no longer makes a front bar and turner has a set but its a brand I am not familiar with. Anyone have any experience's?

TIA
Dave
