Default H&R Springs install question

Are they just "plug and play" or is there other things I have to do at the same time to make them work? Someone told me I would need to get an alignment and then someone else told me I'd need some kind of kit to make the tires straight. So, what say you...

Default I have H&R's on my car.

Car is down about 1.5" compared to stock IIRC. Going that low required a full KMAC set and a full four wheel alignment.

Default when you drop it the negative camber increases >

so you need an alignment to adjust; wrt the rear - that does require a KMAC kit (or perhaps a half-kit, but the full kit does give more adjustability) to get the camber back to spec as Lowcountry says.

Default How are the struts/shocks doing with the springs(assuming stockers)?

I want to lower ours somewhat but not really wanting to go with a complete H&R or other adjustable c/o setup at this time.

Mine's a little tall in the saddle at the moment...

I'm up in Rock Hll BTW. Need to meet up sometime. Didn't you lose a turbo recently as well?
