If you're lowering it then get it aligned. Make sure to tell them to have the toe set to factory specs and you will be good to go.

from what I have heard and read on here this is a really nice "performance" alignment.....

-1.5 camber front
-1 cambe rrear
1/16 toe out per side front
0 toe rear

with normal tire rotation your tires will last.....lower'd vehicles need diff specs thatn stock height..

Correct me if I'm wrong but stock specs on a lowered car would result in normal tire wear just as stock specs on stock ride height would.
