for the rear..yes, or you will be eating up tires quickly. Spc camber arms and toe bolts will do the trick for the rear. The front..not really, unless your lowering it more than an inch. I have tein basics. Rear lowered an inch, and front .8 inches. No issues with the front at all. So I never bought control arms for the front.

Tein posts the min and max drop range on all their products on their web site. Any company that does that would allow you to figure out if you'll need correction or not since we know that any drop that is past .8" generally does not align to within oem spec.

kk, you can run Tein Flex and not need a new camber kit tho? just set it on the highest setting and still have vastly improved handling?

fronts you very well may need adjustable a arms if you run aggressive front wheels and tires...the further you push the wheel and tire to the edge, the more exaggerated camber becomes
