Default alignment question

I just recently lowered my car a little over an inch (barely fit two fingers between tire and fenderwell) on stock wheels and tires. My questions is with my ride height would I be able to get it to factory specs or almost near it (camber, toe, and caster wise) when I get an alignment. Thanks.

You should be able to. I don't know where you are but I would post up in your region and find a good alignment shop.
Do you know if you want to put the UK specs in the car?
Do a search on here about alignment specs and I would bring the specs with you and tell them that is the alignment you want in the car.
Defiantly get a before and after sheet from them.

No problem whatsoever. I'm lower, and I didn't have a problem. All my specs are literally dead center of the recommended.

Same here. When adjusted to UK specs I have adjustment range to spare.

First alignment after a drop can be tough, so if possible have it done by someone who is willing to put in the time to do the job right.
