Just Springs?

So I'm trying to decide if I want to lower the 2004 TL, My question is, if I were to purchase a set of springs either Tein, or Sprint would I need to change the shocks and camber or would I be alright just re-aligning it, beacause I'm really not looking to spend over a grand for it.

Depends..Usuaally camber is not what wears fast its the toe which is adjustable in our vehicles.

I'm lowered on stock shocks .. have been for 2 years ,.. no issues that way.

Where I ran into an issue was the rear camber on the Pass. rear was near max spec before so when lowered even with the toe corrected I got inner tire wear .. I added a rear camber kit and aligned .. perfect now.
