My car sorta needed an alignment anyways because above 65mph there were severe vibrations. But as for the alignment, when I installed the spring clamps, I just made sure they were evenly lined up on either side, counted the threads on the bolts to make sure they were all tightened down to the same height.
I didn't get my alignment checked by a professional but if anything after lowering it the car drove in a more refined and composed manner. Also, I didn't mess with the strut mounts and just judging by eye the camber and caster both looked fine, the wheels weren't bent or angled or anything but they still had the correct amount of "play" for cornering, uneven road surfaces, ect...
Its also worth mentioning that Mazda builds superb and quite forgiving suspensions :]
