Yes, absolutely. The toe changes any time camber is changed. If you don't reset the toe after removing the camber kit, the tires will wear unevenly.

toe changes any time ride height changes. So yes an alignment is 100% necessary.

Yes, you need a new alignment. Whenever you change the setting, you need to get full alignment. Always do height -> camber -> toe order when doing the alignment.

i agree.

either get a lifetime alignment at a place like firestone or invest in your longacre toe measurement plates and camber gauges if youre going to be fooling around with ride height OR camber arms.
