Wheel alignment, coilovers, recommendations

Hi,

 

I got a four wheel alignment made this spring and driving is pretty good but on a visual glare the car sits with somewhat of a negative camber on the rear while the front is neutral or even sometimes seems to have positive camber (guess it's just my imagination). Anyways, I am waiting for a set of HSD MonoPro coilovers and I read something about the toe alignment in the rear getting messed up when lowering the car and whilst the front was pretty much the same while lowering it was recommended to do a four wheel alignment again. Is this true? I thought the double wishbone made for a pretty solid alignment all through the vertical movement of the wishbones?

 

Should I be getting the car aligned at a shop and thinking about how the front ends looks, should I be requesting some specials values on alignment? I don't know how much the orginial parts can be adjusted in regards to camber and caster?

 

The car is driven on the legal road but with occasional (1-3 times per year) "street car visits" on the local medium sized track. Tire wear is not really an issue depending on the pros and cons but I am hoping to get at least 10k miles from the fronts.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks.
