The Pro Kit drop is still pretty low. I think you would benefit, and you would save some money in the long run, by having a rear camber kit installed at the same time. I am looking at picking up a rear camber kit now.

Also be ready to buy some adjustable rear camber arms and toe bolts. Can be had from $135 to $150. Unless you like to run that much camber. But toe, you will not. You could easily get away with the front camber on the Pro-Kit. But you never know. Have it check, after it settles.

To reduce tire wear, and increase rear grip by increasing the size of your contact patch.

As 2TH PWR said. A drop that low will throw out alignment. I read two things yesterday, that said if toe is out by 1/8 of an inch. It was like dragging your tires 11 to 28 feet in a mile. One artical said 11, the other 28. So which one is right, I don't know. Point is, it does wear tires quick.

Do you have your alignment sheet you could post for us to see? Depending on what your personal peference is for camber, it could get within spec. But doesn't mean it's at the best setting for the best even tire wear as were discussing. But yours might be.

I once heard a tech tell a guy doing a alignment to just get it in the green. Which would be in spec. But nothing matched at all from side to side. I told the guy about it and he had them put it just right. Sad story.
