Default lowering question

This is probably a stupid question...

I want to swap my 1.8 drop rear springs out for a 1.25 drop. I have lcas, relo's, and panhard etc. Do i need to readjust all this stuff or can i just toss my new springs in?

The only thing you will have to adjust is your panhard bar. Also check your pinion angle it might be of as well.

do you think an alignment would really be necesary for raising the rear that much?

No. I don't think so. I think BMR has it right.

I know its suggested to have it loaded when installing. I'm not sure about when you adjust it. It wouldnt hurt im sure. It might be a pain in the butt though trying to get under there lol.
