I'd think that we may be able to go lower in the rear, however I dont want to scrape my TopSecret rear diffuser off the side of the road
Perhaps some folks that have the stock hatch and these coilovers can post spme pictures of their rears.

no one can tell you if you will "need" front/rear alignment kits as every car is different. Most times if you are lowering the car over an inch, you will need these items as well. However, if you run very aggressive offset wheels, very wide tires, or, if your car was at the outer edge of "acceptable" for an alignment before you lower it, then the liklihood that you need adjustable camber/toe provisions increases

This weekend at the track i was battling setup. I ran 22 front with 20 rear, and played with camber and swaybar settings all day. I need to get it corner balanced before the next event, then the tuning really begins.
Well so far so good, i'm happy with them and would recomend them to anyone with a DD and weekend warrior.
