Anytime you lower your car, you should have the alignment checked. I just lowered mine 2" and I bet I've got 10 degrees of camber. It's not pretty.

I just did the whole shot, including the Hotchkis 1" lowering springs - Yes, you need to get an alignment.

I was about to order 1'' lowering springs for front and rear and couldnt decide on eibach or hotchkis. Is one better?

Maybe you have a about 3degrees negative at the most, yes always realign after changing springs.

Hothkis, Eibach, Edlebrock, all doesn't really matter-they all buy their springs out anyway. I would look into coilsprings.com they will custom build springs to your exact specs and real reasonable-like 290.00 front and rear including shipping.
