Default Loosen front LCA bolts...affect alignment?

Installed a set of lowering springs this weekend and the front wheel well is about a 1/2" higher than the rear. Normally I would have loosened the control arm bolts and bounced it but this is my first coilover car.....

It appears that if the lower control arm bolts were loosened and the front end bounced that the alignment could possibly shift. Is that possible? Either way it's getting an alignment once the new wheels/tires are off backorder but it's my DD until then. Thanks.

Yes the alignment is in the bolts. Notice the holes are slotted.

Anytime you loosen the lower a-arm to k-member bolts it will affect the alignment and you will atleast want to get the alignment checked.
