Default lowest drop with Tein CS

I'm about to change over from L-tuned shocks and springs to Tein CS. I have the standard 25mm drop at the moment.

I hear the CS can go as much as 70mm drop. What are your experiences? Could I go to 50mm and not have adverse effects on my camber and tyre wear?

Thanks!

I think you would get more replies if you used inches instead of mm.

I guess you can drop the car 2.3" all the way round, is that going to affect camber and tyre wear in an adverse way versus the 1 inch drop I have right now?

Yea, I'm tempted to drop my CS V.2 a bit more, but I cant stand the fact that I will be cambering. I might have to just man up and bite the bullet.

I have the CS v2 and trust me, slam the front as low as it will go and leave the back at two threads. Anything less and you will want to go lower.

8 treads left in the front when this picture was taken. (down to 4 now)

So far no rubbing on normal NYC dips, potholes, crevices, craters, cracks (sorry lost my train of thought)

Scared to take it any lower because of TTE LIP
