um yeah an alignment is necessary when changing any suspension angle.

I'm guessing you added negative camber (moved the camber kit inwards) to keep the tires from rubbing. What you have done now is introduced toe in on the front end of the car. Toe in can generally help keep a car going in a straight line better, but usually isn't that great for cornering performance. Also you have no idea what sort of camber angles you have now, or what toe angles you have. I'm sure everything is different side-to-side.

You really need to get it on an alignment rack ASAP.
