You mean Michael @ Acute Performance? 
Nice to know about this quick lowering job....thanks for sharing. I should be receiving my KSports today via FEDEX. Can't wait to get home and receive my package....I might just take the rest of the day off and wait by the door 
Anyways, thanks in advance to Michael @ Advance for the quick delivery. Can't wait to get it installed and see how it'll look along with my black 20" Forgestar F14s.

Well, that is a good question. My first thought is no, my thought on need for alignment is to adjust for camber and tow misalignment after lowering the car. In most cases, people use stock shocks with lowering springs which will change the load aspect of the stock shock. In most cases, it will result in negative camber. I haven't seen the need for adjusting the toe too many times unless you went up a curb with a significant force or something.
I also talk to my other car guys and they tell me that as long as the ride height is even on all axles, you shouldn't have noticeable alignment issues. The proper way to measure ride height is to measure from the bottom of the rim up to the lip of the wheelwell. Some do it from the ground up but this isn't always accurate since the tires may have differece in the exact amount of air in them which effects height.
just my $0.02
