15mm spacers+drop vs. stock

Spacers have nothing to do with the alignment. Thats all in how low you wanna go and if your willing to spend on proper equipment.

no they dont effect the alignment but we are trying to get as flush as possible AND keep the car within factory alignment (which you adjust separate from just having spacers..... duh)

so yes spacers effect your ability to maintain a stock camber setting and still be flush. if you run -1.5 of camber on a 20mm spacer the tire should rub. with a 15mm spacer it wont.

......cant believe i had to clarify that, or did I.. :P

My bad. The way I interpreted the posts was that you were relying on spacers for alignment specs. But instead, you're just trying to get the proper "flush" look meanwhile with whatever alignment you desire. gotcha.
