If you want a reasonable drop, nothing too extreme, I would just get the Tein H techs. I think that would look really nice. That's just my opinion though. It's a 1.7" drop in the front and 1.5" drop in the back. Inder

If you mean does it impact your camber, then the answer is yes, sometimes. I had my camber fixed, but my toe and caster were fine.
