Go get your car aligned? See what needs to be done.

If you need camber kits for front and back or whatever you will know.

Some alignment shops lifts are steep.. Have to find a shop with a drop friendly lift, or some wooden planks for aiding entry.

I'm sure someone on this forum has firsthand experience with a slammed car getting an alignment.

As low as you are you will need camber kits to "correct" your camber. Seen a groupbuy going on with Marcus @ Heeltoe Automotive. I have ingalls rear camber arms, and skunk2 front UCA's. Both are easy to adjust, and also the tech aligning my car really liked the build quality and ease of adjustment with these.

May sure they zero your TOE during your alignment (NOT within factory specs, but ZERO!)

Toes is very important for a lowered car when it is at zero your tires will last much longer. I'm slammed on F&F and have 0 toe and my tires are at 20K miles with very little wear on the inside of course they wont go the recomended 60 k but if I get 40k out of a lowered car I'm fine with that.
