Wait, steering alignment and camber correction are 2 different things. steering Alignment is so that the steering is straight and your car does not pull to any side. Camber correction is for the one that creates tire wear. If you have a negative camber, which is common after lowering, is you will get wear on the inside of the tire. This is what you guys are more concerned about. So ask for both.
