Default camber, toe kit needed?

Hey I plan on lowering the car with some coils and run some 19s. Thinking approximately 2 inches or so. Will I need a rear toe kit and/or camber kit? What about front? Thanks

probably not. when you get an alignment they should be able to set the toe pretty close to stock so you wont have to worry about wearing your tires out.

I would use the SPC ball joint/camber kit for the front to correct camber up to 1.5 degrees.

2 inches is pretty significant. I think you will have camber issues for sure. I have mine dropped about an inch and you can clearly see the camber.

Unfortunately I did not have mine aligned yet (b/c mine isn't dropped that low) but a friend of mine that is dropped around 2" went to an alignment shop and they said that there are no camber (only toe) adjustments on his GS. He drove on it anyway and ate through his tires in about 3 months.
