Default Camber problems when lowered?

OK so I'm new here and I am in the market to make my MS3 squat just a little after I get my RX8 wheels. I'm looking to probably do a little circuit racing as well later on. I wanna get just regular lowering springs not coil overs. WIll I have camber problems when I lower it? My last car was an Integra and I had REAL BAD camber problems with a light drop and I don't want to go and have the same problems instaling a camber kit then not finding a place that knows what the hell they are doing. Help me out please.

I was looking at COBB springs, and H&R

Cobb springs are borderline. Depending on how good the shop is or isn't, they might not be able to keep you within spec. H&R springs drop almost twice as much and you'll need rear camber arms.

rear...by far.

in one of my threads...about the eibach pro-kit, i detailed how much camber change can happen even with a subtle kit like the pro-kit. i had it listed with a degree comparison. i'm just a little lazy right now...

BTW, pro-kit FTW
