It really depends on how much you lower the vehicle. Your best bet is to install the TEIN SS and lower it to where you want it. Then go get an alignment and see how far you are off. Usually most companies will allow you to get a free re-alignment within 30 days if they can't align it properly.

If you need the TEIN SS or Ingall's camber kits PM me.

From what I know of the SS, you will need a camber kit for the front and rear. Unless you teins come with a Pillow Ball Top Mount w/ adjustable camber.



This is an example from Ksport coilovers

Well that is only if you have a Macpherson style strut which we don't have. Ingalls offers an adjustable upper ball joint for camber adjustment and two rear arms for adjustment in the rear.

depending on how much you lower it usually you can get away with only the rear. i have mines dropped and when i got alignment at sears one of the guys there use to work for acura in oahu and said the front is fine the rear is way off though. so i bought the rears and had it installed. i still need to go back and realign it again. haha. its been like 3 months already heehee. but its easy to install. do the coilovers and the camber kits all at the same time. while the whole car is apart. much easier.

However, if you ride slammed as hell like z3ro, you might have a little different of a story
