You will probably get more yes than no... I say no, with a disclaimer to keep an eye on tire wear and if looks like they are not wearing equally and flat...then get it aligned. I lowered mine and so far it's been fine...been about 4k miles ago.
I'd also listen to what Mrr23 has to say...

If this car is new to you, do you have any reason to believe it's properly aligned now?
(If you're raising a car you lowered yourself and/or had aligned at some point while it was lowered, ignore that question...)

Guaranteed yes with a 1" height adjustment. Raising the will cause the camber and toe to go more positive.

No need to be an ***. Either answer the question or move on.

Yes. I raised both of mine and after the first one I had it aligned and it was off according the tech so I made sure on the 2d one and it was off also.
