No..as long as you dont go ridiculously low then the alignment shop can get it pretty close to spec. Be sure to find a good alignment shop that will take the time to do it right though, because i have been unsatisfied before..

Stances, nice. hey have one of the greatest capability of slamming a car. Have fun with those. Adt about 2 inches of dropping it, your stock arms will no longer be able to be corrected back to stock spec. Basically anything lower than 2 inches, RUCAS and Toe Rods if you like to keep your tires alive.

I took off OEM RUCAs and put them side by side with SPL RUCAs to adjust SPL RUCAs to same length as OEM ones. Then I installed SPL RUCAs with Stances and guess what I had like 10 degrees camber. It was just ridiculous. You must get aftermarket RUCAs. I think I dropped 2~2.5 inches. I spend hours to adjust height and camber, so you will definitely have fun with them.
