I can't judge the ride height thing, for that is illegal here, but in all my years of visiting alignment shops I have never seen any issue worth mentioning. The computer will tell you what the error is, before and after. If you're in the 0.05% area, you should be fine.
My cars go up a 20-25% slope mountain road, 3 miles long, with endless zig-zags, twice a day, and it's concrete, in a pretty abysmal shape. On top of that I fancy myself a rally driver so, despite the 1200ft drop along the road, i race that thing up and down as fast as physically possible. Naturally, it causes masses of wear and tear, so i am constantly changing large and small essential suspension parts, as well as drive shafts and steering racks. Each time, when changing front end parts like that, an alignment is required.
In 14 years of living like this, I have never seen my front end requiring alignment due to whatever kind of "wear and tear". If I add the other 50 cars I raced in some 40 countries, I can only conclude the same thing. Unless I hit something hard like a road shoulder, a massive pothole at high speed, the wheels stay where they should be. There has never been any issue with "setting of new parts", or any alignment that was poorly done. The computer don't lie, and laser is pretty precise. All of that in a country where it's a national sport for mechanics to do most things in life things as uninterested, untrained and unmotivated as they can away with.. cynically spoken. (just crashed and totaled my CRV for a second time in 3 months because of failing brake lines in the hands of yet another retarded mechanic) So if the car mechanics here are indeed too mentally backwards to fix a simple brake line, doing the alignment perfectly must be a walk in the park.
