Default Camber and Toe Correction

I am buying BC coil-overs in the next few days, and plan on lowering the car about 2 inches. I was talking to a friend who is into cars, and he suggested that I update the rear toe arms and camber arms. Is this a necessary step for our cars?

If youre going for a flush fitment not really, but if youre trying to tuck your wheels into the fenders, then yes, youll most likely need them.

Yea I was just going to go with a flush setup, that's why I hadn't looked into them, but he said lowering it in general you should. Curious what some of the other guys on here think. I guess if anything I could lower it, then see what they say when I get it aligned

I have BC coils and did not like the amount of negative camber so I got adjustable rear camber arms to help bring it back to neutral.

Just the camber arms were enough to get the alignment where it needed to be? You didn't need toe arms it sounds like?

Yeah, camber arms were all the guys at the shop I go to for my alignments needed.

You don't happen to have your alignment sheet do you?
