Yes. Toe changes and camber changes as ride height changes. It does not matter if you adjust with metal springs or airbags, there is no escaping the alignment shift as ride height changes.

It's a long way from what it could have been if Formula 1 hadn't banned active suspension. I would not call air suspension a mechanical performance mod yet. It's definitely in the visual performance arena right now.
