Your asking if the wheels camber at such a low drp with the DF210's correct?
If so, it won't happen like when you lower a honda. Just get an allignment once you lower it.

Awesome, thanks so much for the helpful response.... Judging by the looks of other Xb's with DF210's, it didn't look as if there was a dramatic chnge in camber.

If by dramatic you mean no change, then yes, it is dramatic. I lowered the wife's xB on DF210s a few weeks ago and haven't even had it aligned yet. It tracks straight as an arrow, has no shake at high freeway speeds, and no signs of abnormal tire wear. I'll probably get the alignment checked when we have some extra money to spend, but it isn't a huge priority.

Id be careful with that. After putting my coilovers back on the car tracked straight but the toe was WAY out.

Your toe is going to go waaaaay out anytime you remove the front struts. There is no camber adjustments, but there are some endlinks on the market that you can use to adjust the front camber +/- a little over 1 degree. The camber on DF210's are roughly around 1 degree negative all around so nothing to worry about. No abnormal tire wear, etc. HOWEVER, if you run a set of OTG shims out back you gain another degree, which i've learnt that hard way does wear your tread at an angle.
