possibly, all depends on what your alignment specs are before you lower it

drop it, drive for a week. take to alignment shop. don't worry about camber as long as its less than -2.0 deg. and as long as the rear toe can be brought back into spec you'll be fine.

If you cannot get toe w/in spec, or the camber is too negative (ignore factory specs as they are crap)... then you'll need some more parts.

Issue resides in the semi-loose tolerances in the factory parts...that's why you can't get a for sure "yes" or "no"...
