Default camber kit for my mugen lowdowns???

sorry to ask a silly question guys, but do i need one with just a .75 drop? i'm getting a set soon and i may run into legal issues with my reconstruction permit if the change is noticeable.(coilovers are illegal on hawaii streets btw) also, should i change anything else in my suspension to work with the lowdowns for maximum potential? input much appreciated, thanks.

The car will tend towards understeer with just the lowdowns.. I suggest getting the Mugen 26mm lower sway bar if you are going to autoX.

I agree with Arren, get the Mugen rear sway bar. No need to mess with the camber at this point.

By the way, the Mugen lowdown setup is not a "coil over" package. They use the same shock bodies as the stock units. Well technically, couldn't the stock spring/shock combo be characterized as a "coil over" setup? Since it utilizes a coil spring over a shock body?

I don't think it is necessary for a camber kit unless you lower your car more than 2". Yes, you will have a little bit of negative camber, but that is good for cornering. Also, if you rotate the tires regularly, there shouldn't be any problem with your tire too.
