depending on how low you go will dictate this
if you go more than an 1" you will need to get some rear camber and toe arms.
if you go more than 1.5" you will need to get new front a arms as well as the rear camber and toe arms

also depending on how stiff the springs are and how low you are you may need to combat body roll when taking corners and being low to the ground, you might find one side of the car hitting the ground if you take the corner fast.
to combat this you will need to get a set of sway bars
i have the hotchkis sway bars i havent put them on yet but maybe next friday
cusco are good but expensive
eibach are good and so are the stillens

will all that said
my car sits at 25.5" from ground to center of the wheel well in the front and 26.5 from ground to center of the wheel well in the rear
stock is 27.52 in the front and 27.95 in the rear

todd's car sits about the same as mine and he has 20" maya rt-5s

neither of us has rubbing issues
and our camber is within stock specs

we both have the kinetix front a arms
i have the kinetix rear camber arms and toe arms
todd has the spc camber arms and toe bolts

Are these the front a-arms you're talking about?



They look kind of lightweight to me. Are they safe enough for the street?

I was just a bit concerned that the cutout in the plate might weaken them too much. Maybe that piece of plate is thicker than it looks in the photo.

So, Kinetix uses a toe-in arm instead of the toe-bolt.



That would eliminate grinding out the toe-bolt holes. That would make a cleaner installation, but probably be a bit more expensive... right?

I'm just planning a few things for the future. I figure ProjectFusion is interested in the comments too, so I'm not hijacking his thread.
