Default Any tie rod concerns by lowering an RSX 1.5 inches?

A friend of mine just got some Tein S-tech (1.5 inch drop) springs for his RSX (base) and the shop he's planning on taking it to for the install told him he may have camber and/or tie rod problems by lowering more than one inch. Is this true? Any RSX/EP tech guys your help would be appreciated. I'm a DC/EG dinasour so I came to you guys for help. TIA

Done. Thanks

I think he may be able to get away with a 1.5 inch drop though... I think they (the shop) are just trying to sell him stuff.

He should be fine with the 1.5 drop.

Actually, u are the n00bie that comes in here and gets "help" from people and then
tries to flame someone from doing so.
So, u still get from me.


EDIT- apology accepted

A 1.5" drop should be fine though.

I have another idea cooking on how to get the oem tierods within spec. If it works, I'll post it up for everyone to see.
