You'll be fine dude just make sure u don't cheap out and realize what ur getting into. Once u start one mod you'll be bitten by the bug and will prob end up with all the suspension parts u can imagine

Just piece it together as you go.

The toe bolts are the most important tho.
The way people on the forums explain it is that you need to have it all at once or your damn car will explode.

Nah, man. Just be sure to get the toe bolts, or your car will explode.

Without the adjustable camber your ride and traction suffer, but toe is what eats tires; toe's all that really matters when it comes to tire life.

Here's my alignment specs with oem rear toe bolts. Dropped on Z S-techs. Your front and rear toe will be fine. I guarantee it. If you drop below 1.5" then toe bolts will become necessary. Any less then that you'll be fine.

Hmm..I'm dropped 0.8 in the rear and I needed them. I got a separate alignment after every single suspension mod.

And like I said, your rear toe is maxed out. It should be around 0.32 not 0.12. Just cuz something's in range doesn't mean its optimal.

It's simple. Lowering springs and rear camber arms. Get it installed and get ONE alignment and be done. Why would u comeback with arms and pay for another alignment. When u get coils u will definitely need the rear arms so get them now.
