Alignment Issues
If you want to stay within factory specs, you will most likely need a camber kit from what I've been told. My SC is lowered on Megan Street LP coilovers with a good two inch drop and my specs aren't too far off from factory. I have a little bit of negative camber up front and a tiny bit in the rear.
My rear negative camber wasn't even noticeable until I got really wide wheels. My tire wear is pretty even or the most part up front and it's been even in the rear.

Oh, that's good to know about the LCA's. But I'm not really sure if I still wanna go through all that trouble to be that low after finding out what needs to be done, lol! Probably I'm just gonna go as low as my stock suspension parts would allow me to go with the PBM coils without going further than -1.5 on camber...
Also, I can't even do a complete U-turn right now without hearing my tires slipping with this kind of camber... This is really bad, need to get it redone as soon as possible, or as soon as MVP Motorsports send me my poly steering rack bushings...

towards the subframe, you can kinda see where the reinforcement plate was welded in. I think it was shortened about 1/2", but it's also fixed the camber issue with room left for more adjustment if needed via the eccentric bolt.
In combination with the adjustable uca's which were also shortened, it effectively pulled the whole hub assembly in just a bit, to make room for more tire as well.
ignore the endlink, i have fixes on the way for that.
Wow, no offense, but that cut and welded LCA really looks scary for a daily... How long have you had it? I did a little research, and found this;

But damn that price is GOLD! Which kinda matches the color of it and the color of PBM, lol
I wonder if I should change the title of this thread to "how to go lower than low without using air???"

none taken, a good number of sc's already have already done this, fenderub (who dd'ed his sc), bigwave, alex pfeiffer, and I've never heard of any problems. And if you're low enough, you'll constantly be scanning the road ahead for bumps/dips/whatever to avoid so the last thing on my mind when I'm driving is my rear lca. I'm a helluvalot more worried about my fiberglass front lip.
and yeah, adjustable lca's are a very viable option, assuming you can afford it. the shortening process cost me $100 vs 800-1000, so being the broke person that I am, it was a pretty easy choice.
