Default lower again after alignment?

The other week, Skunk2 coilovers we're installed on my car. Then omni front camber kit installed into the car but we're not adjusted. Since my friends didnt know how to adjust it.

Earlier today, I just got the camber kit adjusted and 4-wheel alignment done at a local shop. I noticed that my car is now slightly higher than it previously was. My question is, does anyone think it is wise to lower my car again? I just want to lower it another 1/2 inch to make up for the lost height.

I probably can get a friend to adjust the camber kit for me, if slight camber occurs.

If you lower the car or change the camber, you'll need another alignment. It will throw your toe setting off again.

I suppose big positive change to the camber could raise the car noticeably. Next time leave -1 degree on the front and slightly less on the rear. Your car will perform worlds better and not suffer increased tire wear if the toe is 0.
