Alignment after Drop

was wondering if anyone knows what exactly was aligned after you did your drop and had the car in for alignment.

i thought a "spring" only drop would only affect camber?? SPC tells me the following (which is valid), but i thought only camber needs fixin??



SPC:
What angle will you put the camber at? When the factory height is lowered, all factory alignment angles are no longer valid.

What will you do about the the Toe setting? This must be adjusted. Toe and camber are your main tire wearing angles.

What will you do about the Caster angle. This angle does not cause tire wear but is important for handling.

The other angles that you must take into consideration for proper tire wear and handling are Setback,Turning Angle and the SAI angle.

Because of the complexity of all the angles, I would recommend that you get your alignment done by someone with the proper alignment equipment.
