When you lower your car it will alter the camber/caster and toe of the wheels, I'd recommend an alignment but it is not always necessary.

do you have a camber kit? also why would you need to know how much to lower?

i mean you can just do that on the fly.....unless of course you are just lowering on springs alone and you can pretty much ask for blown shocks
