    Nobody has mentioned it but you should check the rear toe also after lowering and adjusting the camber.

    The Helm manual has the factory settings listed for camber, toe, etc.

    yeah, the helm's manual has factory settings, but if your car is lowered they won't do any good.

    So it would be a good idea to have a rear alignment done after i add a washer or two ?

    I always get an alignment every time I do suspension mods, just to keep the geometry right. Currently I'm getting a custom front camber kit made up - unfortunately the EG kit doesn't suit the SiR and I don't want to drop coil-overs in until I've got adjustability done as well. At the same time I'm getting adjustable caster setup as well. I posted a good article on track/street configs a while ago - if you want I'll repost it.

    The act of lowering the car is what will change the static toe. This needs to then be corrected. The time to do it is after setting the camber as that changes it slightly.

    The stock alignment numbers are a great place to start. You can then tweak them for your application (poseur street, performance street, autocross, road race, etc).
