Default Lowering and alignment Q..
So i just paid about 100bucks to get a good alignment from the dealer for my car. However, i have vogtland c/os, and would like to lower it a little bit more. Would lowing my car another .25 throw it that far out of spec? I lowerd it from stock to about 25.75in, and to my surprised it didnt really effect it that much. My whole goal is here to not eat tires, as ive trahsed way to many . Thanks guys.

Camber might not be affected much but caster and toe can have a more profound effect on tire wear.
