The only thing you can adjust on a factory BRZ/FR-S without additional parts is toe.

I'm kind of anal about alignment and "within factory specs" is not good enough for me, so it doesn't matter if you can get them after a mild drop or not. The factory specs aren't that good.

It's very much worth it to spend the 10 bucks for the OEM camber bolts to get a little extra camber up front. A big improvement in handling with identical (or better) tire wear than stock.
