No, but its nice if you are looking for performance, however if your going for springs performance isn't your first concern haha.

TL;DR Nope :)

Nope, install and go

It isn't necessary, but it is helpful. A set of camber bolts for the front is $25, so it's not a huge sum of money to dial in some negative camber. For the rear, you'll get some camber naturally just from lowering. If that ends up where you want, then great. Nothing more is needed. If it ends up way out of whack or you want the ability to adjust, an LCA is the easiest to install and adjust. SPC works for not a terrible amount of money, it just isn't flashy. There are plenty of others that are billet aluminum and super fancy, but much more expensive.

I just did mine op. Imo camber went more negative. By atleast -.5 in the rear and front may have went a few points on the + side. But im sure every car is different and i never had an alignment previously so im throwing numbers out there.

I am running RSR Superlows with a 1 1/2" drop. I have no camber adjustment kits and at almost 100K miles have no handling issues or unusual tire wear.
If installing yourself just be sure to follow the directions exactly to the letter. There are very specific requirements for coil placement and leveling and if you don't do those things right you can end up with some wonky camber or height issues.

How did you perform the VSC Sensor Neutral Memorization?

I didn't. It came with them from the showroom.

If you need to know how though it doesn't sound hard.

Thanks! I wonder how many people who lower their cars bother with this?

Probably just the ones that get a throw a code. Probably even less bother to re aim their headlights though.

Does the attitude of the car change?
Why would the headlights need to be re-aimed?

Twinz 11-30-2016 09:31 PM

I have not noticed any change with my headlights since I put the TRD springs on.

Even with the modest drop with my TRD drop I still needed to re aim my headlights. I just guessed. I don't know the aiming procedure :iono:
