Default Coilovers and camber adjustment. Suspension Guru's help out please!

Alright here is the question. I have a set of Skunk2 coilovers paired up with KYB AGX. I had an ingalls camber kit installed a ways back and it had been doing fine. Today I realized my car is a little uneven on one side and I wanted to adjust it. my question is this:

If I raise or lower one side a fw threads (~ 1 inch or so) will it mess up my alignment and camber setting.

I started to adjust it a few threads, but I put it back to where is was originally at because I wanted to ask people with experience first.

officially.....every time you touch it, you should get an alignment check

unofficially....I adjust mine all the time for various reasons, and have never gotton an alignment, and have perfect tread wear. use your own disgression.

So you are not even running a camber kit? How much do you adjust it though? Just a couple of threads?

one side is only off like .5" or so. I wouldn't think that much would mess anything up. But I could be wrong.

People where are you at! I know somebody knows stuff about suspension!!
