Don't see why you need them TBH, mines lowered about 80mm and I don't need em?

as a rough guide, every 10mm drop increases neggy camber by approx 1mm (at the strut top)... meaning it will eat tyres, and handle weirdly

Fit them and set by eye, then take your car to get tracked at a laser wheel alignment place and get the garage/or yourself to have a play and set to between 1-2 degrees negative camber IIRC.

Maybe ask if you can go for a little drive to check what it drives like and hop back on if your not happy.

well for my old nova, it was lowered 60mm and the camber was horrible, moved the tops of the strut over 40mm and it was fine, but it should be moved 1mm for every 10mm lowered iirc.
