when you lower a car, camber is important because you don't want to wear out your tires. I've seen bold tires in like less than a year. i DEFF don't want to wear out my tires, my car only has 1500 miles on her. plus to be on the safe side, i don't want my car lowered and having problems down the road with suspension work.

Seems like this route is not for you. If your having this many concerns already I say don't bother.

But Swift isn't an aggressive drop. Does it still require these?
