H&R Super Sport Lowering Spring Help
 
I just installed a set of H&R Super Sport lowing springs. I like the ride and the height of the car so much better now. My question is do I need to have the cars suspension re-aligned? It drives great no pulling or anything. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the angle of the rear wheels. too me they seem to be way off camber. I don't know much at all about suspensions so any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Alignment recommended. Actually get it! Post some pics. We'd love to see the drop.

Yeah, get the alignment but wait maybe a week+ or so for the spring setup to "settle". The rears will naturally give you a lot more negative camber given the same height drop. Not sure why it didn't occur to me before, but you actually want some negative camber on the front and close to zero neg camber on the back (obviously this depends on driving preference and driving conditions). If you really want control of toe/camber when you get things aligned, you might want to consider getting some camber kits to allow your alignment shop to give you what you want.
