Since the drop was only about an inch in front and 3/4" in rear, I'm hoping that the rears can be adjusted back to spec or close to it and that the fronts will still be ok. If not, look at getting some adjustable camber arms and toe bolts if it's way off.
Keep us updated or send me a pm on the results. Anyway nice setup!

oh I see.

before you loosen the green arrow nut/bolt, make sure you mark it as
it has an adjustable collar which will screw up your alignment if you turn it.

No, not yet. I want to give it at least a week to account for any settling before I get an alignment. Then what I'm thinking is going in and getting the numbers to see how far out of spec I am and if it looks like I'll need some camber kits, I'll get those and install and go back for the alignment with the ability to add back some positive camber. I'm hoping that I'm not that far off, but I'm pretty sure my fronts are gonna need some adjustable a-arms. I'll definitely keep you updated. I have to say I'm really digging this setup though so far.

wingnut- you might want to ask the shop if you may sit in the car while they do
the adjustments. they should be cool about it unless they have some
insurance issues that may prevent you from doing this. if they'll let you do this,
you can take it in now to get it adjusted. After they lower the car onto the rack,
just move your body around to kind of push down the car before they start
taking measurements and making adjustments. (or take a friend with you
as weight...after the car's back to its height, ask him to step out while
you stay in the car).

That's a great idea - thanks Ken!
