You will need alignment.

quick question but hows does that get effected? when the car is lowered the wheels go in at the top...i always though that was camber and alignment was setting your wheels straight with your steering wheel.

Think of the suspension like your shoulder- as you raise your hand upwards it swings in an arc. You will need an alignment.
