Sure, since the ball joint position on the control arm is adjustable (the 
three holes that the bolts go through are elongated), it's quite easy to 
upset the alignment. There's a somewhat confusing thread on the vortex today 
about it, check out:

Street or track? I'm sure you'll get lots of opinions here. :-) My feeling is 
that these numbers are a bit extreme for just street use -- think tire wear, 
and poor tracking in the rain... I use -1 camber and zero toe myself.
