Did you measure the actual ride height difference ?
I'd have the "toe" checked to make sure it's good, I wouldn't worry about the caster, and you'll have only a slight increase in camber but nothing drastic.
Furthermore, since the BMR front springs are stiffer and have a linear spring rate compared to the softer progressive spring rate of the Hotchkis your actual ride difference with you in the car might actually be even less than 1/4".

You are more than likely good with your alignment but if I were you I would at least get the car on an alignment machine and see what specs you are at. An alignment is much cheaper than new tires so it is better to be safe than sorry IMHO.
