i know this is some noob stuff, but please NO FLAMING...thanks ok, so i just put a set of Intrax springs on my S13. i have stock struts, stock tire size (195/60/R15), ES sway bar bushings, and no other suspension mods. camber is set according to stock height and so is toe. are the alignment specifications brand specific? i searched a bit and got confused . will lowering my car and not getting it aligned after it is lowered make it easier for the car to hydroplane? because before i lowered it, i could drive 70 in the rain and not have any problems. but i just drove home in the rain at 60 and i could feel my tires floating/hydroplaning. has anyone else had this happen to them? or am i just trippin?

on a separate, but kinda relevant note, in order to get it aligned at my school for free my prof told me that he needs certain specs from the spring company in order to align it...so where could i go for the specs? I emailed them, but no response yet. thank you in advance for any feedback.
