Is it possible (fairly simple) to do a "rough" alignment
If I lower the front and rear of my car, would it possible to do a self alignment and get it pretty close?
I don't want to take it to a shop just yet because I may raise it back up, but I don't want to wear out the inside tread of my tires either.

How much are you planning on lowering it? If you are not lowering to much I wouldn't worry about it. If you plan on cutting bushings and longer bolts I would get it aligned. kaley

Last summer I had it lowred as far as stock bolts would allow in the back, it seemed like my inner tread wore a litte more than my outer tread, but I now have 30K miles on the original tires.
I am buying new tires, and just don't want to kill them prematurely.
If I cut the bushings up front am I going to need an alignment do you think?
