i was talking to a mechanic friend of mine and he was telling me that alot of time, if you lower vehicles, you have big problem with camber and you need to buy some new joint things, not actual joints, but i cant remember what the word was he sued, but yeah, i was thinking of getting some teins and some KYB's, were i to straight up install those, and get an alignment, would i have problems, or would i have to buy some other devices as well? thanks!

i was told any time you lower a car you need to adjust the -camber , as you lower the car it toes the top of the tire in and will cause your tire to wear the inside faster then the rest of it, i just got adjustable coilovers and i dropped the front 2 1\2 and rear 2in i also instaled a obx camber kit so i can adjust the camber in and out the tires , that way when i raise the car back to stock stance for winter i wont wear my tires out and get the most traction as posable
