Default Need toe links when lowering?

I've ordered H&R Sport Springs for my '00 C2 Coupe (currently stock US suspension) that should lower the car by about 1". Does anyone know whether I'll need new toe links (either front or rear), or will the stock links have sufficient adjustment? For anyone with experience with these, how far out will the alignment be once the new springs are installed?

Thanks,
David

X73 lowers about an inch and I didn't need new toe links.
