After I lowered the car with the S-Tech springs (0.9in front, 1.4in rear). The camber's totally off. The car's running like this:


/ \ (well not that extreme but u get the point...)



I went to an alignment place to get a quote, and he said I'll need an camber kit to make the wheel perfectly straight (0 degree camber)


Do I really?

Just make sure you have all the tools that you need. Also, be prepared for the rear, those sway bar links are a pain in the butt. Luckly from experience before hand with my GC's I knew what to expect when I replaced them with Teins. I just bought new links so I wouldn't have to deal with those old links anymore. Plus it's a good idea to replace since your car is getting older.

I had a problem getting the OEM front shock cartridge out. Make sure you have a good vice and a plumbers wrench or something to unscrew that shock out. It's on there pretty tight. Well from what I experienced. We ended up taking it to a friends shop and he torched the shock out after draining the shock. The sealant that's on there is on pretty good. So just a heads up on that in case you come across it.
