Im not sure if im lucky but i just put sprints on....just about a 2 inch drop. I took my car in and had a 4 wheel alignment done.... im at -1 degree camber (negative camber he said) basically i think that means the wheels tilt one degree in towards the car.... 0 camber would be straight up.....in relation to the axis.....im no suspension guru...as you can read....but for a 2 inch drop the guys were shocked that they could get it close to specs....... 1 degree negative camber is good for cornering tho......

I think any lower and you would need the eibach camber bolts....or the stillen camber plates....the plates offer a broader range of adjustment....more for the autoX group.....

Hope i havent confused the doo doo out of you

o i c..... so if i drop my car, and go in and get an alignment.... if my camber is way off, then i have to buy a kit? for some reason i thought alignment would fix these things for you, but they just give you measurements?

Yes the alignment should....you should be fine as long as you dont go any lower than 2 inches.
