Good to go.

1. Was really close, but still within factory spec.
2. Dont need to...but change will have effect on your stock shock that will have to be replaced sooner then normal.
3. Yes
4. Get rids of wheel gap and has nice look.

1. you may or may not need a camber kit in the rear - every car reacts differently to lowering. No one can say that you absolutely will or won't. Most times with a drop under an inch, the car will stay in spec, but not always. And there is no guarantee that even if it is in spec, that it is even side to side.

2. stock shocks will work well with the spring rates on the S tech

3. At the very least have it checked after they are installed - drive for a day or so, then bring it in and have it checked.

4. a nice drop that doesn't look poseur-ish

$175 shipped, in stock if you need em
