If I understand your question  - IF:) - you are asking if you can align the car at one height, then drop it to another.  The answer is no - not if you want it to be aligned.  You will have to remove the bumper to get it on the rack or go to another shop that has a different type of rack.  Setting made at one height will be totally useless at another (think about your camber and how it changes when the car is lower).

BTW:  a clear question helps - I don't want to be a grammar nazi, but that is really bad...

While we are on the topic of ALIGNMENT :biggrin:, I just put on new wheels and tires and the car is pulling to the right. Is this normal after changing wheels/tires? I suppose an ALIGNMENT is needed, right?

get your alignment after you put in your coils.......
make sure your coils are at the same height
