Sorry if i missed the answer in a previous post.

The spacers will not cause the need for camber kits, the lower ride height due to lowering springs will. Some are getting away from using camber kits, some are not. You won't know until you drop it and allow the springs to settle.

Thanks so much. That's what I was kinda figuring by reading, but wanted to make sure. Can't wait to get mine installed!

are you still on stock wheels? you might not like that spacer combo after the drop. i'm on 20/25 and would almost be willing to go 25/30 now that i have my swifts installed.

i just had an alignment after letting them settle and here are my specs w/o camber kits fr/r...

front camber left: -1.6
front camber right: -1.5
front toe left/right: 0

rear camber left: -2.5
rear camber right: -2.5
rear toe left/right: 0.15

That's a lot of camber in the rear, maybe get just rear arms?

it was -3.5 before the alignment! the car looked like this from the rear / /===\ \

i wanted a semi-aggressive setup. this was close to my "requested" specs. i will definitely get a camber set when i get my re11's later this year
