How far is it lowered? Whenever you lower a car, you change the suspention geometry. You should be able to take it to any alignment shop, but it may be possible that it is so far out because of the lowering that you will have to buy aftermarket suspention components or put the OEM suspention back on.

Even if you have it dropped 2inches of drop youll be able to get it into ACCEPTABLE specs... Only thing you can adjust on a factory setup is the toe, but you can shim the upper link bracket if you have a little too much camber. Im guessing youll have about -1.5 front camber and -2 rear, and you cna shim the fronts to -1 and youll be golden.
