This topic Has been covered. You can get it to oem spec you will need camber kit in the rear with toe kit. Remember to roll your fender before drop it.

I've read it is needed with springs. But most coilovers have a camber adjustment on the top mount of the strut and was wondering if that is enough to get it into oem spec or if the spc is still needed. I know the rear is needed.

The BC's have no built-in camber adjustments. The need for a kit is highly dependent on how low you'll be. I'm dropped minimally and camber is slightly off, but Toe is well within spec. I have not seen any unusual tire wear as a result of this. Granted, i do check pressures almost weekly, and rotate religiously.

Looking into getting Megans coils instead. If anyone is using these chime in. Wondering if you got your front camber back to spec with the top mount adjustment? Or if if a front camber kit is still needed?

I don't think you can get a CO with top adjustments because of how the struts are mounted.

If that's the case, that's good. Although i honestly don't know how they're able to do that without modifying the strut tower.

What exactly are you bumping? Anything lower than about -3/4" from stock will require a camber kit?
