I'm not saying not to have it
checked, just don't pay for something you don't need. I've never had to have the
rear of my lowered Hondas aligned and I don't wear tires, even on three or more
inches of drop!

Why not get a four wheel alignment? Granted
you can only adjust the front and rear toe and not the camber but if you lower
the car, your rear toe will change just like the front because of all the
lovely bumpsteer. You can use a tape and get the total toe generally close but
you have no way to know if the toe on each side is correct and you can have a
thrust issue (crabbing to a lesser degree). I always haev someone set
the front and rear toe properly whenever I do a major height change or full
suspension removal, then I can use my own tools to do the maintainance over
time until I make another big change.
If you align the front and let the rear go,
you'll still eat the rear tires but probably won't notice it as quickly until
they are feathered or get the notorious 45 degree flat spots that roar and
ride bad.

Just have the alignment checked
by a reputable shop and DON'T let them sell you a four-wheel
alignment!
