Hypothetical here:
I get an alignment, everything is nice. After the fact, I lower one or both ends the car .5-.75" via adjustable coilovers (not touching camber bolts, anything, just lowering the spring/shock assembly down closer towards the hub)
Will this noticeably screw with my toe? I can’t imagine it messing up the camber or caster, but then again, I don’t know, that’s why I’m making this thread.
If anyone can answer that’d be swell

A small drop like that won’t mess with toe that bad. You’ll be fine.

Kramer I would try to get everything in your flushness specs before you get the alignment. If you need help let me know. I did a rough alignment on the wrx using strings and a level. I did the same thing with my rsti mid winter after dropping my rear wheels in the dirt a few times :rofl

Already got an alignment (thanks, A.S.S.)! “TRD stage one” specs plus a little more camber (-1.2-1.3 compared to -1.0). Looks just fine and handles even better!

Both camber and toe will change. It will be significant enough to notice on the street (the bad way). Realign.
