I think it's the castor that's not adjustable. Camber and toe in are.

What you can't align is the geometry of the rack. Instead of the tie rods being parallel with the rack as it was designed to be, they'll now be sticking up towards the tires at an angle.

I bought a 240 that was lowered at the front and it wore out inner tie rod ends repeatedly. After I replaced the springs with a stock set that went away.

There was also a lot less road noise and a much smoother ride. Maybe you can take corners a little faster by lowering it, but that thrill gets old pretty quick.
