Custom alignment with Swift lowering springs?

I installed these about a month ago. Only in the front though. Will a factory alignment be needed or a custom one?

I have Swift springs on the front only. Use the factory specs for the alignment. No abnormal signs of tire wear

Besides, you can only adjust toe easily. Everything else requires aftermarket parts to make changes. If you want to significantly reduce wear, get a better lower control arm rear bushing for the front end.

Thanks bro, took it to Pep Boys they said I should take it to Lexus because they don't have the proper equipment to do the alignment, something about adjusting the camber he told me.

I have aftermarket upper control arms with camber adjustment to get it back into specifications after lowering it

No. Stock ride height until someone can confirm the camber curves work better at a lower ride height. I suspect a 10mm drop is all the suspension geometry will like.
