That might just be a good thing in case the old spring was a little worn.  A good shop can check it out for a small fee.  If it's on no big deal, but if it's a little off, still costs less than new tirs .  Just my opinion, Phil lifetime #45

You shouldn't have to have any alignment work done for just replacing the spring rubbers, but, as Phil said, it might be a good idea to have it checked by someone that knows how to do a rear alignment on a Corvette.
