Is there anything else besides camber that we need to worry about after lowering?

Because it is a double arm design (almost double wishbone) the geometry doesn't get as jacked up as it would with a McPherson style. The SPC parts Travis mentions include

The SPC parts Travis mentions include camber and caster adjustment for the front (toe adjustment with the stock tie rods is fine), and camber and toe adjustment for the rear. I'll be getting these when I order coilovers.

Does this mean we will not have to worry about bump steer, roll centers, and whatever else that seems to be impacted by lowering?
