I think you should get your tracking done if it out, personally i don't think it handles better when its out at all.

Get the tracking done on it. You won't feel any difference either way but you'll go through loads of tyres if you don't do it, which will obviously hit your pocket.

Get the alignment done.
Check the springs aren't sagging and the ball joints aren't worn as well. Tracking place would probably check them anyway

You need it tracked then. Every time a suspension alteration is made, it should have the tracking checked.
Don't attempt to do it yourself

as everyone says get the alinment done, and no it wont handle better becouse you have less tyre in contact with the road thus less grip and youl go throw tyres like a 17 yr old on happy pills
