Default Problems with Lowering?

I've been told by my mechanic that changing the shocks/struts and springs isn't enough to lower it properly. Has anyone had any camber issues? Alignment issues? Pulling to the left or right? I ordered Tanabe Nf210's and now I'm debating on cancelling the order.

Any help is welcome. Please post your problems that you've had, if any.

after changing suspension, just do a alignment and it should fix the problems, which then if you go too low, watch for rubbing the fender which you have to then roll or cut fenders, or rub the inner fender liner, which then you can cut the inner fender liner out.

NFs dont lower too much; i believe the DFs go much lower. as others mentioned, just get your alignment done after.
