Your Sportlines go lower, so you'll probably be around -2 to -2.5 in the rear. If you want to go anywhere other than what the springs get you, you will need LCAs.

In the front, I used camber bolts in the upper hole set to maximum camber, and ended up with -1.7. I could probably turn the bolts the other way and take the camber back down to OEM spec.

Next question is why do you want to go back to OEM spec vs. a more performance-oriented alignment?
I don't necessarily want to go back to OEM specs I just want them so I have a comparative.

I do daily drive this and tire wear is a bit of a concern as they are about $300 a tire here and my wheels are staggered so no rotating to reduce uneven wear.


I don't need it to handle like a track car as I don't use it for that.

Just trying to see how I want to set it up. First time lowering a car and I want to do it right without wasting money on parts I don't really need.
