If you use eccentric lockout kit from SPL. They put the alignment setting in the middle, or close to it.

Eventually yes but for the next year or so mostly weekend/spirited driving. Does this affect anything?

Take pics of inner and outer edge of your tire after a Sunday drive.

Yes, it does affect the tires.

If the alignment is corrected why would it affect the tires?

To see where your contact patch is. And how big it is. Ideally, you want even wear and heat across the thread after a hard run. If it's on one section and not across the tire. You're not getting the most out of the tires. :driving:

I'm still trying to understand how this would come about if I have all the necessary components after the drop, unless I am missing something from my list above shouldn't it be aligned correctly to avoid uneven tyre wear?

After the drop. If you get it aligned close to stock specs. You shouldn't have any problems with wear. It when you start doing trackdays and getting faster. Then you may start making changes.

So using the following components with a 2" drop should make it possible to align back to stock specs with little to no issue? Anything I need to add?
Z1 Rear Camber Arms
Z1 Upper Control Arms
Kinetix Traction arms
SPL Eccentric Lockout kit

thanks just read the threads and am glad you've told me. Looks like I'm going to save for the spl arms.

You'll need something for rear toe adjustment. You won't get back to stock alignment specs with a -2" drop and only rear camber arms. You don't really need the traction arms.

Can someone post a picture of the rear upper strut mount deck mods? I am still thinking if i should get mine welded before putting the coils on
