Default Adjustable Upper Control Arm and Rear Camber Kit, Worth It???

So are these ESSENTIAL purchases to make? If I am only lowered like 1.5-2 inches will it matter? If I was going to do just the rear (which is more off) is that bad? I tried searching and found conflicting views....

As long as you keep your toe in check you should be fine.,

You will prob end up in the -2 degree range without adjustable components....shouldnt wear tires too bad...

What does "toe" mean, I am very new to this... so would it be bad to just tweak the rear? That kit is only $100 (which I can afford), the front is a lot more expensive and I just replaced my control arms...

Ya put a little time into learning about suspensions and alignments before lowering your car. It will save you a lot of money.

Here are the basics: http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/infoAlignment.dos
