I just dropped my car with a full set of coilovers, I took the spring out of the spring perch and closed it back up. I think I threw the alignment off real bad by taking it off, I understand when you lower your car you get camber this isn't the first time I dropped my car. And I do know I need a camber kit, and get a alignmeent.

My issue is that I expected the wheel to be slanted a lot because I dropped it a lot and the camber will get thrown off, but not only is the wheel slanted, iThe rear wheel looks like is making a left turn. Will a alignment fix that issue as well? I had to get the spring out of the spring perch so I loosened 2 17mm bolts one connected to the rotor, and the other bolt that the spring perch is connected too that has the bushing.

Cliffs:
Dropped the car on full coilovers
Camber is off
I need an alignment
The rear wheels look like its making a left and a right turn.
I'm wondering if the rear wheels will get fixed if I get an alignment.

It's called toe.

Get the SPC camber arm/toe bolt package. Problem solved.

alignment can help it without any addition parts depending on how badly it's lowered. This is an issue I would address now. half a degree of toe on a tire drive 100 miles is like dragging the tire 20 miles sideways (something like that) Toe eats tires.

god, i have mean toe then, i had decent tires about 50% and I was driving 10 miles and all the wires are now showing. I literally mean ALL THE WIRES. I didn't realize it until my friends behind me said it looks like my tires are flat. Looks like someone just took a scissor and cut off all my thread and shaved it.
