Alignment question.....

I lowered my car with KW HAS suspension and I got an alignment done last year to fix my toe and camber.

Recently, I'd been feeling the car sits a bit too low, so I raised it about one-half inch all around. I know my camber setting has changed, but has my toe setting changed also?

Yes. You will have increased toe-in by raising it. A 1/2" raise probably moved the toe 1/8" in. Which will put you at about 1/4" total toe-in from where it was set.
You will get increased outer tread wear with that much.

you will need to redo alignment again if any suspension parts has been change or updated.

if you raise the car , it's likely toe and camber are changed. better redo it to save the tire.
