Oem camber max out at -4 rear and -6 front, decide what you wanna run and then get your toe set as close to oem spec as possible. If you want to set them (toe and camber) back to oem specs you'll just need to get alignment and they'll set them back for you as when you lower your car it'll mess with your camber and toe forsure, especially with a 3-4 inch drop.

you think rear camber kit and toe links are necessary? cuz i know you can adjust the front camber a little.
