I just completed a FR rack and pinion/tilt column install with new upper ball joints, springs and perches, and tie rod ends. New spindle too for SSBC front disc conversion. (Highly recommend)

Can i use the stock alignment specs? Do I have to tell the alignment shop that I have lowering springs?

I heard these are the specs for all of or cars...true?

Here is the proper alignment specs for our cars with modern radial tires:
The Performance alignment settings:
Caster: +1.5° to +2.5°
Camber: 0 to -.5°
Toe: 1/8"

Contact the R&P manufacturer. They should have provided you with all the necessary adjustment figures.

I am about to mount a Randall's Rack myself and it came with detailed instructions and settings...
