WHY an alignment after lowering?
you're toe in/out is not affected from lowering an F-body, but your camber is. You need to get the camber fixed so you wont bald your tires on the inside edge. Problem is, once you change the camber, it throws off the toe, so then you have to do the toe too.
yes, my car is lowered 1.5-2 inches and i had enough adjustment left to get the alignment correct, if you lower more than 2 inches then you might not be able to get it aligned perfectly but you could come close. To adjust camber you need to loosen the bolt at the end of the control arm right by the rack and pinion and move the control arm in or out to get the correct camber. If you lowered your car, you'd need to pull it in more to get the camber right.
