Default lowering to 1.25 inches. HELP!

Ok, I have done pretty much some research on the spring and shocks. Im thinking(yep just thinking, not yet decided) of dropping my teg to 1.25" with comptech springs and tokico illuminas. I know I will have to get an alignment but do I need a CAMBER kit for this drop?

and if I do get the tokico illuminas, what setting shock I set the shocks?

The way to *know* if you need a camber kit is to go have an alignment done after the installation of the springs/shocks. That will give you an accurate measurement of where your camber stands and how it needs to be adjusted, if any. After I dropped my car, approx. 2", I took it in for alignment and found out my front right wheel was out of wack a bit. The rest of my wheels were fine, so you just have to get the alignment and see how it comes out. On my Illuminas I started running them at the 3 setting.

Most likely you won't need a camber kit but you'll need to get an alignment. I have the Eibach ProKits with koni's and it's about an inch or more drop (not much more). I have never needed a camber kit.

another thing, when should I get them aligned after the drop? some people say right away, some say after 2 weeks. Do I have to adjust the headlights too?
