Default Lowering and camber/alignment problems ...

I have an 06 Xa and plan on installing some Tanabe DF210's.

At what distance/level ( 1", 2" or 3") lowering does the camber problems come into play ??

When will I need to install a camber kit ?? Front and rear ??

I'm not sure if I worded my question correctly, so please expand in your response, or add to my question.

Thanks .....

McPherson front have tiny weeny camber at extreme drops but even those camber numbers are so minute. McPherson setup are designed to stay the same through out the travel range. Rear trailing arms does not have camber but very minute toe-in when lowered extremely. All very minute don't worry about a thing with your ~2 inch springs.
