Default Downside to just using Tanabe GF210 springs..

So I am looking at adding Tanabe GF210 springs (because they are only ~$200), and I am a little concerned about the whole thing with negative camber. I don't understand the whole concept behind it, but am I going to experience a lot of problems if I don't add a camber kit? I just can't afford one with the mods I am looking at...

Camber wont be such a big problem compared to the hopping your going to have...youll need some Tokicos or Konis aswell..

What do you mean hopping? I thought that improving springs helps get rid of bounce..

To control bounce, you need dampers.

Lowered springs are also stiffer. Meaning the damper has less range of motion to accomplish the same work. Meaning it needs more damping force. Meaning on stock dampers you'll be going up and down more often.

It won't be the end of the world. It might hasten your purchase of new dampers and waste installation money once a more... Like I did on my last car...
