Do I have to do aliment after springs ? 100% yes
And do camber bolts are have to? No, slot the struts in front and you're good to go. Have a half assed alignment shop do this and you won't have any problems nor will you have to spend the extra on a camber bolt kit. My alignment was $80 from a very reputable guy, I wouldn't pay much more than that for all 4 corners.
And how to keep my tire tread wear even after lower. Alignment
Was thinking to get bmr or sportline. BMR all the way! Or Steeda, both great options

OP, I highly recommend our springs. You won't find anything less than stellar reviews. They were designed from scratch, revised many times and tested by yours truly - made in the USA and carry a lifetime warranty.

As for slotting the struts, here is an example. This is something I did on one of our S197 Mustangs, but it is still similar to what you would do. This particular strut we ground more bias to negative camber...and just slightly the other way to get the camber more positive.

Out of curiosity, how do you adjust that when aligning the car? Do you loosen the nuts and just pry the strut in/out until you get camber where you want it?

That is correct. Or just pull/push the top of the tire.

is this advantageous to camber bolts in any way?

thx

Kelly, You are kidding right? Why would you ruin he integrity of the strut when it can be done properly with camber plates! I have had my camber change drastically using this slotted method at Mid Ohio in A/S race. I would definitely not recommend this for on track events because it will not stay secured! Even torquing to a 184lbs

I am not kidding.

We do not race on slotted struts, so don't worry.

Forgive me if I missed the part where he wanted to use this method for racing.

On that note, I have personally done so - years ago. I never had issues. I slotted the struts precisely, where the bolts were resting on the strut material when applying the TQ to the strut through bolt.

Because that's the only way to get camber and still be legal for Solo II Street classification. Camber plates aren't allowed.

How does that compare to something like your camber bolts? I get the idea that unless you slot them precisely so the bolt is resting against the strut then you're really only counting on the clamping force to prevent them from moving, but isn't the same thing true about the camber bolts in one direction? I mean, the camber bolt eccentric will touch on one side and prevent movement in that direction, but is there anything other than clamping force that prevents it from moving the other way?

You must not have been pushing the car hard enough through the corners then ;)

Maybe not.

Does a car try to go positive or negative when heavy loading in corners?
