Lowering and Rear Active Steer

Does rear active steer complicate any suspension mods specifically looking to lower?

Thx.

Yes since the rear toe is used to steer and any change in ride height changes the shape and static position of the toe and camber curves.

Adjustable components can fix the sitting still static numbers but they can do nothing about the changes when NOT STATIC.

With lowering or raising the ANGLE of the supension arms changes.............why one uses things like tie rod end spacers to restore the ANGLES [parallel to road] to restore oem bump steer [toe changes going over bumps].

The point is using adjustable arms is not enough even if the alignment numbers are adjusted to look OK!

I have no issues. 350z s-techs and ichiba rear camber arms.

The only thing a little more difficult is elongating the holes for the toe bolts. On an RAS car you have to dremel steel instead of aluminum on a non ras car
