It depends on how low you want to go. On average, if you are lowered two inches or less then your good with stock control arms. Lower than that and I would recommend getting aftermarket arms. This wil just extend the life of your tires a bit longer.

Im lowered about 2-2.5 inches and I have no aftermarket camber kits. I have -1.5F and -2.5R camber btw. Nothing crazy

You can use the OE controls arms no matter the drop. The only thing you might want to add to the setup to help lessen the amount of negative camber (or tire wear) are Megan camber arms in the rear and SPC adjustable balljoints in the front.

Im dropped 2.5" all around on BCRs; 2.5 degrees (front) and 2.8 degrees (rear) negative camber currently.
