Question Question about Tanabe NF210 springs

I'm having trouble finding someone who installed these springs and not having issue with the alignment. After reading some thread here I found out that when you install these springs you won't be able to adjust the camber on the GS because there isn't any! so how can I drop my car without sacrificing the alignments? PLZ HELP

I have no problem with alignment after installing the Tanabe's. The RS*R Super Downs seems to be the springs that put the rear camber out of spec enough to need the kit.

Without camber adjustment, the major contributor of camber being too negative is the car being too low. The lower the car, the more negative camber it will have.

Until an alignment kit comes out to correct for this, the lowest you can drop your car AND stay within factory alignment specs is about the height that the Tanabe springs provide. Tanabe isn't the only spring manufacturer that can do this for you.
