Actually the S-tech is a 2.4" drop in the front and 2.0" in the back. The H-tech is 1.9" in the front and 1.5" in the back. I have the S-tech on mine and it's a perfect drop. All personal preference though.

2" drops are a "slammed" in my opinion.

Honestly, when people recommend camber kits you know it's slammed.

A rear camber link will replace your stock upper arm. It allows you to adjust camber on your tires. If your tires look like this / \ instead of | |, you have negative camber and under normal driving conditions, your tires will wear faster.

I'm not sure if its needed with your s-techs but a few alignment shops won't give u an alignment if you're too low and don't have a camber kit.
