With the Comptech/Pro Kit probably not since the drop is only like 1". You just need to get an alignment after you install the springs of course. I'm running the Comptech's myself & the drop is perfect IMHO.

If i got the Tein S-techs and a Skunk2 Rear chamber kit, would i have to worry about the stock shocks going out? and if so could i just replace the shocks rather then the whole setup?

The shocks are a wear item. They will always blow eventually ( not instantly, just over time). Lowering springs just makes this process happen sooner rather than later.

Yes the shocks will blow, when is another question.
Yes you can just replace the shocks. By the time they are shot at, there will hopefully be some aftermarket replacements valved more aggressively and better suited for lowering springs.

As far as I'm concerned, yes, you need a camber kit. I got the SPC kit.

I think if you want increased handleing the camber kit is a MUST. I think it would be a good investment even if you didn't lower the car.

I have those here ready to be installed but cant find a trusty shop to aling my skunk2 in the rear and eibach screws for the front. Anyone had issues with alingment with aftermarket camber kits?

i think that i saw 2 people in this thread with the race springs but that is just slammed. i really like this drop it noticeable but breaking the ground. and the ride is stiffer, and wife said that that doesnt have the bumpy action that she was excepting. and thats good when wifey likes it!

No issues, just to them 2.5 hrs to align the car. I have Skunk2 rear camber kit and stock up front.
