Default lowering question

Kinda needed some help...lowered the car on Omnipower slip on coilovers/kyb agx shocks (i lowered about another 1/4 inch in the front)...just need to know a couple of things...how much did I lower my car from the stock height? (I cant remember how much of a gap there was before)...is this too much stress for the kyb agx's to handle?...and will I need to get a camber kit?...if so i might raise it back up a bit...thanks for any help...

Camber isn't adjustable from the factory, but toe is. Get the toe set to 0, and you will be fine. You need to get an alignment everythime you change the ride height.

While the drop isn't much, the KYBs may not be able to handle the springrate you have.

Yeah, I expected more.... till I saw the pics....


SLAAAAAM IIIIIIT!!!

Drop it further. You really don't have to worry about camber kits till you cant put your finger between your well and tire! (2-1/2- 3")
Even still, it's all about the look.. Get a set of Nitto Neo-Gen's to slow down that negative camber wear.
