Basic Noob Questions - Camber bolts/alignment/etc

Hi all,


I have what I feel to be a silly question, but since I know very little about suspension stuff, I'd rather ask then be sorry later.


I just bought a set of cheap coils, Tein Street Basis. I plan to drop the car more for aesthetics than for 'performance', however, I'm not slamming the car. I still need it to be a DD and survive the roads.


So I'm figuring like a 1.75in-2in drop, we will see when I put them on.


Currently on 17x9 + 35s w/ 255/40s.


My question(s) are as followed:


What are camber bolts? What are they used for? Are they necessary for the drop I'm looking at. I'm not looking to stance the car, I would prefer to have the least amount of camber.


Put the coils on, adjust to the height I want, raise it a bit, then hope it settles to where I need to?


How long after the coils should I get an alignment? 500 miles?


And if you guys have any other tips and/or recommendations to do, feel free to add them.


I'm not looking to do LCAs or end links/toe arms yet, as I don't plan to track the car and don't run it very hard.


Thanks!
