i recently installed ksport coilovers(they are very nice), but now that the car is droped im wondering if it should be aligned to the factory specs or would those spec not work for a droped car. this is not my theory but my crazy friends and im pretty sure he is wrong since the specs only account for the angle of the tire to the road and have nothing to do with weather its droped or not iono. im lost burn me, and help me understand!?

You won't even be close to setting it to factory specs now that it's lowered. Depending on how you drive the car, set it however you want it, but you won't be able to get -0.5 degrees of camber anywhere without added components.

well i kinda do have the added components lol i have front camber plates and in the rear i got some ruca's, i took it to get aligned and i got the back to factory specs but the front has some positive camber, ima fix that soon cause i have to change the position of the 4 bolts on the camber plate. but yea the factory specs are doable but are they right
