Get an alignment post install and you'll be fine.

Nice. I'm gonna be getting tires soon and I figured I should install the springs first.

Camber bolts for the front (assuming you dont have any other adjustment up there)
I might even have some extra camber bolts in the garage...have to check when I get home.

SPC control arms for the rear are a not-so-pricey solution...

Of course the "best" solution is going to be dependent on how you are dropping it 1in, and any other suspension mods you might have going on.

I am assuming you're lowering the vehicle on springs? If so just get an alignment, again you'll be fine only lowering 1in.

When I lowered the car 1 inch the Dealer got my car into spec, the rear's were on the edge but they were within spec. So honestly you do not need anything other than to get an alignment somewhere that can do a decent job.

Thanks for the information @evo4g63. It's been off 2-3 times now including the Paint shop repainting it. I hope these are not hard to get a hold of... I don't want to leave the car with them.

Take a look at the corner tabs as well as the way it sits under the headlamps. You'll notice fairly easy even with the cover on/off if they are indeed damaged. As stated before if they are the bumper would need to be replaced. Replacing the corner retainers may help for a minimal amount of time. Once your vehicle sees any down force it's game over. Attempting to fix the tabs with a plastic repair kit won't work. We have tried at the shop and there is not enough material to salvage them.

ALL ARIZONA FR-S/BRZ OWNERS HOME PAGE

Just an update from the islands: I moved into my new apartment, will finally start actually working soon, and barring some catastrophe will be driving in a 2013 GTI Wolfsburg edition by the end of the day. The FRS has been fun, I know I'm losing my ass by getting rid of it, but I need the cargo space, better comfort, and better gas mileage.
