Depends on how much your going to drop the car. Coupes and sedan's have different oem min/max specs, so we'd need to know what you drive and how much lower your going to run.

If you have a coupe and will only do a .8"-1" drop you might want to get the car aligned and see where you stand. If your going to drop past that, I do support their suggestion that you also buy alignment correction parts. Though IMO, I would not get their rear kit but the SPC kit, unless your adverse to how you have to grind out toe cam slot. Also you might want to consider the new SPC front arm kit at $429 and the new SPL kit at $499 vs the Stillen front kit.

I was told that with Tein Flex, if you don't drop it too low, there wouldn't be a need for a camberkit. Just after installing it, and lowering the car, take it to the alignment shop and ask if your car can be aligned, they will tell you if you need a camber kit.

Don't accept inside oem wide range parameters calculate the exact midpoint and use that as the guide if tire life is important or braking distances.

Excessive front camber beyond 0.7 reduces stopping distances.
