Toe and Camber question with GC coilovers

This question is for anyone that has experience with coilovers. I installed ground control coilovers last week and now I'm looking at getting an alignment. The only thing i'm not sure about is what happens when I raise and lower the car? Wont the toe be affected? Will lowering and raising the car also affect the camber? I'm pretty much lost in this area of knowledge and need to do my alignment soon. Please help me!

Your camber will be off if you go over 1.75". I have Progress springs and I have mild camber wear on the 2" drop in the front. Rears are fine. Rotate your tires often and cross rotate every 15,000 miles and you should get a decent lifespan out of them.

So should I go to a shop that has experience doing alignments with lowered cars? Or would any shop know what to do?
