So, with pins removed how many washers did you shim by? I realize this is not a substitute for a proper alignment but if I bring it in close the local alignment folks won't struggle so much.
Do I need a spacer in front to clear the stock suspension or is it to move the wheel out the same distance as the rear?
I would just figure it out but I don't have a car yet...I'd like to have the necessary parts on hand as getting stuff to Hawaii can be expensive if I have to rush.
Thanks for your help.

It's a bit of an experimental process. As you add shims it moves the top inside of the tire closer to the spring perch on the strut. Depending on wheel offset, tire size, and lowering, the tire may or may not interfere with the lower spring perch. If you're alignment is pretty good when you start and you use same thickness spacers on each side, then you should be pretty close for the final alignment check.
