Hmm. I'm lowering my car now, and I may be wrong, but from what I've gathered after reading this thread, I either need an alignment or I should adjust the pivot point?

Both.

After lowering, you need to align the FRONT of the car, it's the end that has factory adjustments.

In the rear, the only thing that changes with lowering is the toe-in, and there's no way to adjust it without shimming. This new "modification" should minimize or possibly eliminate the toe change, but be aware that it's a very new idea and the potential downsides (contact between axle and fuel tank?) are just being discovered.
