Well, to ease your pain, I ran my old suspension (Koni SA + H&R Springs), and didn't do anything to the rear suspension, even though my car was lowered. I just didn't know better. Come to think of it, my car had its toe probably out of whack, but I sure didn't notice it at all, not even on the AutoX course.

You will most likely get uneven wear on your rear tires since you'll have more neg camber. But you won't see it overnight. Do you care that much about a 20K-25K tire life v/s at least 17K? I mean, I still have one stock tire on there that has seen many track days + autox + 17K mi total and is still OKAY (granted, it is almost gone, but still useable).

I mean... will this be a bad idea after all to lower the vehicle??? In long run for me as far as faster and uneven thread will be down...
This seems very UN-attractive to me.
