Rule of thumb.. anything OVER 2inches will most likely require you to use camber kits.

hmmm... fwik the moment you lower your ride, even 1" you should have your camber checked and corrected.

my camber was off and i havnt even lowered my car lol also ive heard that if you lower your car 1 inch (eibachs) you shouldnt have to play with anything.. BUT ! you should bring it in regardless of what you do.. Anytime you mess with suspenssion/removing them you should bring it in..

true.. you'll need an alignment if you lower your car, what I meant really was you WILL need a camber kit if you go past 2inches.

Hahaha, I slammed the hell outta my 97 'rolla, i'm runnin straight coil over springs. NO SLEEVES. I'm about 1 inch off the ground underneath. The rear wheels are tucked just about to the 14" rim. No camber kit... not very good but i did it spur of the moment, don't really care much, i was too broke to buy new struts which is what i needed, so i just dropped it. let me tell you. it is bumpier than SHIT! it keeps me awake an its fun. but i got new springs that'll pick it back up some, but i'm waitin to put those on till i get my GR2's. there is no "too low" in my book. just have fun.
