Yes it has, but we can still post a link to the FAQ thread and then answer there question like this. For dropping your car with out getting extreme negative camber, i.e wheels leaning in, you can go with a drop around 1.75" or 1.5" and have just a little negative camber which can be fixed in the rear by the "Washer trick" but the front will require i a camber kit if it really bothers you. First consult the FAQ thread at the top of the forum and see if that answers your questions and then come back if you still don't understand.

ive got kyb agx's and eibach sportlines. I believe it's 1.8in in the front and 1.7 in the back if i remember right. Ive got a little neg. camber. The good thing about neg camber=better handling bad=uneven tire wear.

yeah it happens...theres a price to pay for great handling...ive got the same setup... a lil bit of negative camber but not enough to make it wear out faster than a 10 cent ****** condom...
