Here's the deal: the shocks and springs I bought and installed recently came assembled and were taken off another Celica. My car drives just like it did before, so do I need to get an alignment? One thing I should mention is that my steering wheel is slightly turned to the left when the wheels are straight. Thanks!

Generally, you would most likely need to do your alignment because even though they were taken off another celica, your car's alignment and camber will be off.
Also, if your steering wheel is not aligned straight with your wheels then OBVIOUSLY your wheels aren't lined up with your steering wheel--alignment solution.
Drive your car for like another week or two so it can settle in, and then do your alignment.
