How low are you guys talking. I have Eibach springs so I'm only dropped a little bit (about an inch). But my Alignment is still a bit out of Spec. I am going to replace a number of parts this Summer (The caster arm bushings and some other front suspension items) to try and get the car into perfect alignment. Do any of you guys only have a mild drop, and still need after market alignment adjusting parts?

yo how much negative camber are u talkin about? im close to -4 in the back and -3 in the front and ive had my tires for 4 months...granted i dont drive that much but i dont have any significant tire wear yet. if ur talking about -1 or -2 camber ull be fine as long as the toe is set as close to zero as possible....no need to buy other parts...atleast thats how it works on the IS

Yes and no. RCA's will lower your car about an inch in the rear and give you some camber adjustment. But, what about your fronts? Nobody likes a saggy butt. You'd also need front RCA's too to even out your drop. Not sure what springs you're on, but when I had my Bilsteins,Tein Stechs, and my Sage front and rear RCA's (So effectively about a 2.5" drop up front and a 2.1" drop in the rear), the alignment shop was still able to get it VERY close to factory camber/toe spec. I mean if you're only like .2 degrees out of camber spec, it's not going to kill your tires in 3 months. If you're on springs only, I'd be more concerned about zeroing out the toe than camber hurting you.
