Hey Im about to take off my hotchkis lowering springs and put the stockers back on and was curious if it messes with anythign alignment related?

Yes, you should get an alignment any time you make suspension changes to the front of the car, IMO.

Not to hijack your thread, but does installing a new front sway bar with no other changes also require a realignment?

ZaneO

Honestly not sure about that. I don't think that it changes any geometry, so I don't think an alignment would be necessary, but I could be wrong.

Tex95TAGT

That was my thinking, too. I can't tell any difference driving it, but I'd like to make sure.

No a sway bar does not affect the alignment. It only connects the body to the suspension to keep the body from rolling on you.

So just double checking I will need an alignment after messing with the front springs?

Tex95TAGT

Definitely. You might also find it worthwhile to do a Search for camber and caster for lowered cars. You will probably need a front end shop that knows lowered cars to do it right.
Edit:
Oops. My bad. I just remembered you're going from lowered back to stock. You'll still need an alignment, though.
