Alright heres my problem/question. My car used to be lowered with a ground control coilover kit. Probably 2 inches. The dumbass owner before me paired those coilovers with stock struts. Really? Looks like no camber kit either. So im guessing my alignment is way off. But... I recently switched to stock struts on all four. Will my car be way out of alignment? I havent driven it yet i hope its good enough to get to the shop at school. Opinions?

any time you change the suspension parts the alignment will change. how much is not certain. you can do a visual and if the wheels dont look like this / then youre prolly okay to drive to the shop.

it looks like the rear wheels have a slight positive camber, but as long as it doesnt have much toe in or out i think ill be good. my autos teacher scared me when he said he had a student change struts at home and the alignment was so bad the car couldnt run and it took 20 + students to push it into the shop. what would cause something like that?

That's an extreme scenario.

Lots of people work on their suspensions and never get an alignment, never mind just driving to the shop for an alignment. Use common sense, as long as nothing is crazy off then it's fine to drive.
