Smile Ok, now a quick camber kit question?

Hey guys, this question is for those with a camber kit, such as Omni. I was wondering if you needed to get an alignment after you put it on? I put mine on after I lowered my car then I brought it in for an alignment because I had to change an lca as well. I recently raised my car back to stock and put the stock a-arms back on. It felt off so I brought it in for another alignment once everything was stock. I recently notice a knocking sound from the front right, so it is probably the upper ball joint. So, I was wondering if you guys know if I put the caber kit back on, replacing the stock a-arms, if I should need to get another alignment? I thought that with the adjustable camber kit that you could set the camber at stock height and be fine. Then when it comes time to lower the car you should be able to adjust the camber kit accordingly, on your own, for the lower stance. Is this correct? I want to try to avoid getting alignments every time I raise/lower the car. Thanks in advance!

you should get an alignment to know your settings.. but you could try to guess what your camber is, trying to keep it on the negative side a little.. that's what I did before I went for an alignment and I wasn't far off.. one side was like -0.64 and the other side was like -0.54...
