I'll be installing my coilovers this coming weekend and I wanted to get an idea from those with experience lowering their cars and getting an alignment after, on what would be the lowest possible ride height while still being able to align the car using the factory camber parts?

I ask because I really don't want to spend $400 on aftermarket camber kits right now. I'm getting married next year and the fiance would kill me if I spent any more money on this car before the wedding. This car is my daily driver so I need the alignment to be within spec as I don't want to be replacing tires prematurely.

It seems like most with Swift springs on the sedans are able to get into alignment without any parts, but I'm wondering if I could go a bit lower and still be within alignment? The car also has to be level or SLIGHTLY lower in the front.

Thanks!

Not sure about those D2 coilovers but many of the Taiwan coils will drop pretty low in back, even at their highest setting. If that's the case and you correctly want the height in front lower or at least the same height as the rear that may make it tough to get your alignment specs good enough w/out any help.

The front isn't adjustable but should be close to spec if you drop in the 1.25" or less range. The rear is adjustable but tends to be further out of spec w/ the 1.25" drop. I'm thinking you'll at least need the rear camber bolt & toe bolt kit, this is still very affordable if you do the cutting yourself, about $50 for two kits.
Here's the kit you need (x2)

So the front I can only go 1.25" before I need aftermarket control arms? I thought the Swift springs were a 1.4" drop and it looks like most guys were able to get back into alignment. I'm thinking about buying rear camber arms like the SPC's for the rears and getting the fronts sometime next year. I just hate the idea of having to get an alignment twice...

1.25" should be close to spec, another 1/8" shouldn't push it enough to require camber help, just might want to rotate more often.
