Because they are so adjustable you need to get them professionally set up which is going to cost considerably more than a £100 alignment and a company like CG will highlight any further wear in your suspension components so it's likely you may need to buy some addition arms/bushes as there is no point doing half a job. Add in corner balancing etc/extra labour and you could easily spend £5k just because you wanted a slightly lower ride height.
You will have a lovely handling car which is probably never going to be raced around a track but very empty pockets when you could have achieved what most want for about £550 (springs/adjustable arms/spacers & geo) if your dampers are still good and you can change springs yourself.
