Yeah one side was -2.0 and the other was -2.5. The guy who aligned it adjusted both to -1.2.

You have stock rear camber arms? It will be hard to get someone to play with those.

Yes. I have a good alignment guy. With only a 0.8" drop I wouldn't expect it to need a drastic adjustment.

Yes gonna look for one of those. You dont need any other parts right? Like adjustable sway bar end links or front control arms with longer studs? Steeda made some videos about needing those to correct suspension geometry when lowered and blah blah

I did install camber plates in front as an abundance of caution but I'm not sure they were needed. Didn't do anything else.

I know Steeda has a bump steer kit that's supposed to correct suspension geometry for lowered cars, but I don't think it's needed unless you go with more than 1 inch of drop.

Hey! im waiting on my magneride sport springs. Did you notice any increase in bump steer? I ordered the springs and the camber plates as you did.

Not at all. Since the springs were installed I've driven the car spiritedly on curvy back roads, not all of them smooth, and didn't notice any bump steer issues. The ride is a little firmer in both normal and sport modes, but it's not a big difference. Normal mode actually feels better because it's more controlled. I suspect the drop is not big enough to impact the suspension geometry too much.
