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

Guys, the toe is the biggest thing you have to worry about when you lower our cars. You can live with -3 deg camber, but if the toe is far

Guys, the toe is the biggest thing you have to worry about when you lower our cars. You can live with -3 deg camber, but if the toe is far off you will kill the tires in 2 weeks.

I just had an alignment done after lowering my car, guy told me i would've destroyed the tires if I hadn't gotten the alignment.

So yes, the toe is actually the bigger thing you have to worry about.
