Default Suspension newbie..need help..

Today i took my car to the alignment shop because i got some new wheels, and got the car back saying they couldnt do much except the toe, but since i got my last alignment about a month or 2 ago they said even the toe was fine..

Then he went on and told me how everything is none adjustable. I'm droped on fsports and plan on getting coilovers. He then explained that i would need a camber kit for the front, but would i need a camber kit for the rear? Also is there anything else i would need to keep my car in good alignment when going lower. Can anyone expain why we need camber kits for the car aswell.. Thanks....

and is there such thing as a front camber kit

We need camber kits because when you lower the car your wheels tend to lean into the car more and usually eat the inside of your tires and the kit straightens them out. Depending on how low you go your rears should be fine. As for the front there is no specifically made kit for the isx50. A member on here(Andrewshu3) has a page where he made the IS300 SPC kit work.
