Coilover Question

Hey guys. I'm getting the Tein Street Basis Z's.

Do I need Camber Plates or will just an alignment suffice? I plan on going like 2 inches lower in the Front and like 2.5-3 in the back.

Thanks guys, sorry for noob questions. I'm new to suspension upgrades.

Going that low will screw up your suspension geometry up front. It also increases your chances of blowing the rear axle. I wouldn't go any lower than 1.5" max unless you want a lot of headaches.

And i wouldn't lower more then inch as that will greatly reduce spendings for needed upgrades, though even with those installed handling/comfort will take big hits. #3 & 4.
