Default coil adjustment/camber question

My H&R coilovers/TRD rear sway are going on within the next few weeks. I plan on dropping 1.5 all around.

My 2 questions are

..Is there a way I can adjust my coilovers to a 1.5inch drop BEFORE installing them so I don't have to mess with them when they're on and i can just go get my alignment two weeks after.

..Will I need a camber kit?

Camber kit: should NOT need.

Pre-adjustment. I really don't know. Hopefully someone with H&R coilovers can actually tell you. My understanding is that you set them all to be the same and then see where they are and how it looks... then adjust from there.

Don't know if there's a way to reference a specific drop without seeing them installed first and adjusting.

My advice, camber kit not needed. I'm dropped over 2 inches all around and my camber is very minimal on my JICs. as for adjusting, you can pre adjust, but you will need to readjust like ACK154 stated once on the car because it still may not look even. I had to adjust just a few thread to sit right.
