Default Strano Springs

So I got my springs in a few weeks ago. It dropped the car about 3/4 of an inch (I good with that) my question is do I need to get alinged? And if so any special specs? I have been hearing 1-3 neg camber is good? and if it is, wouldnt I be there by lowering the car? and what about the rear bump stops? Cut em down? remove them? Buy shorter ones?

Yeah definitely get it aligned after lowering. In theory, lowering will cause more negative camber, possibly too much. I would definitely take it somewhere

-3 would be too much, but I don't you have to worry about that. You'd need to add parts to get that much offset. With stock bushings and control arms, you will probably end up around -1. That's good for a well balanced street/performance setup. The tire should wear evenly.

I never aligned my car and I put them on at 60k miles. I have 112 now. I'm just now getting noticeable inner wheel wear on my front tires...

That being said an alignment is always recommended

What about the rear bump stops?
