Joe---This was already answered, so I'll just add what I've found from
15+ years of using TRF'semi-comp springs. SAH------
The FRONT end came down about an inch, which is just what I wanted. I
don't recall if it changed the camber, but I know that I have since
changed it (put shims behind brackets) to give a half deg. of negative
camber. (Wheels lean in 1/4" from vertical) I also like the look and
feel of a Little neg. camber. (Also at the back end)
I've read that Good's springs give the same drop. Maybe the same
springs??
I use the "string" method for setting wheel alignment. Years ago I had
the optical/ laser alignment done professionally. (Sears Auto) I
then came home and set up the centerline & string-between-jack-stands
thingy to get a feel for what's what and could repeat it. This article
was published in GRMS at least 15 years ago, and I saved it. Works fine.
In short, you probably won't upset the front alignment just by changing
springs.
In the rear, If you change the trailing arm brackets around, including
using the fine looking, Goodparts adjustable ones, an alignment of some
type is in order. Or at least compare to what you knew was correct.

How much negative camber can be expected by lowering the car with a set
of Richard Good's springs? I put them on the car this winter, and have
yet to put the drive train back in, so I don't know what the end result
will be. Isn't some degree of negative camber desireable (both front and
back)? With my previous fresh stock height front springs, I had used no
shims up. Will the car need to be re-alligned with the new springs?
