    yea...ur tires...if you dont get camber kits..

    and your splash gard probbly gonna get in the way..

    o yea...and your shocks

    edit: and if your not used to driving a slammed or lowerd car..you gotta watch out for stuff on the road like pot holes,speed bumps, large peices of rocks..

    90% of the wear on your tires is from the car's toe settings, not from a lot of negative camber. It is a good idea to get a camber kit though.

    are they full coilovers or just adjustable springs? if u slam it on stock shocks it will blow out the shocks because the stock shocks arent meant to be lowered with different springs that has different rates. tires are another thing u going to have to worry about if u slam it. the more u drop it the more the tires will
    / \ and yeh... self explainitory lol

    Before you pay to put on the coilovers buy some adjustable struts. Like Koni, tokico, kyb, etc. You will regret paying twice, Once for the coilover install and then once more for strut install. Just save your money and buy the coilovers and struts at the same time and then put them on. Or do it your self and save a lot of money.
