Default Control Arm questions

Hi everyone,

I am driving a 93 Honda Civic EX sedan, and recently lowering my car.
But when i screw the bolt which is joining the shocks and lower control arm, it was broken and get stuck in the whole. After a while, i took my car to the workshop, and they finally help me to change the whole lower control arm. i know that if i don't have a camber kit, alignment is not necessary after i lowered my car, since it will camber itself again. But now, if i change the springs and lower control arm as the same time, would my car alignment off again? like my car will drive to one direction instead of going straight?

Please help me out honda-techers!

A new guy just join to the honda world

When you get your tires aligned, just ask for Zero degrees of toe.
