So just to clarify, get springs installed, get alignment, and if need be, get bolts/lca?
Get the camber bolts for the front installed with the springs/alignment. You want some negative in the front.

Roger that.

One more thing, I recall reading a while back that it's recommended to wait for the springs to settle (1-2 weeks) before getting alignment. Correct?

Yeah. 1 week is plenty of time. It does most of its settling in the first day or two.

Awesome, thanks again both of you!

Going to wait until the tail lights come in before pulling the trigger on the springs.. maybe after I get back from road trip..

Hard part afterward is unbolting the sub from the trunk board and unwiring so they can take off the struts. (mostly because Im lazy)

You dont have to use one but should. You can borrow/rent one from autozone

There's not a lot of spring tension anyways. Just undo the strut top nuts, jack the car up, remove the wheels, remove the end links, and the struts will pop right down for you to access the springs. Easy-peasy.
