you've got the right idea,.. when the car is lowered. the tires will toe out slightly due to the tie rod angles being changed. just like if u raise a car to its max height the tires will toe inwards.. but if your not doing a huge drop.. its shouldn't affect the alignment.. I've lowered over 100 cars and most of them never did an alignment unless they had camber kits..
just my 2 cents from being a mechanic for over 12 years

^^^ He's right iv also been doing the same thing for about ten years. If your not going to get a camber kit and do everything properly the alignment will only help slightly.. keep in mind if your car is already pulling to one side or jumps to different sides wile hitting a bump then i suggest you do it but it makes no sence to do it till you get a camber kit.
