Air Suspension: Allignment Advice Needed

[Powhusku]

I'm going to be installing Ridetech's shockwave system in January and need some help getting ready for it. The plan is to get the allignment set at 1.5"-2" lower than stock. The allignment I like is Pfadt's "Performance Street" setup, which I've had on my car for over a year now and I really like it, not to hard on the tires and great handling.



In order to accomplish this allignment at a full 2" below stock, what supporting mods will I need to meet it? So far I'm thinking adjustable LCA's will be needed, and maybe camber plates. I know theres plenty of people here with tons more experience than me or have already tried this, so plese post what you know!





Also before people start griping "thats too low", dont forget this is an air suspension setup so I can raise the car a full inch higher than stock height at the press of a button, granted I'll be out of allignment when I do.

The problem you're going to run into at that low of height is in the rear. The CV joint angle will be too great. About an inch and a half is as low as you want to go in the rear without sacrificing reliability.

I will have a solution to that issue very soon ..That is solid advice for sure.

I'm currently running DSS 1400 hp axles and read this in another thread. Not sure if it will elminate the issue however:

Would you mind giving me some info on your solution? PM if necessary.
