Lie the title says....does your alignment change when you adjust your coil overs for different ride heights??
Just curious if I have to get a alignment for where I want the car to ride for th street, then if I decide to change ot for car shows or track if I screwed up the alignment??

If the ride height is changing I would assume that camber is also.

lowering will increase negative camber which in turn will move total toe toward the positive.

raising will decrease negative camber which will move total toe toward the negative.

ex: lower the car 1" and the camber camber changes from -1.5 deg to -2 deg and total toe goes from -1/16 toe in to +1/16 toe out. (measurements are exaggerated to show what occurs)
