Suspension help do I need camber?
Okay I recently bought GC coils with 350/450 spring rates...
I also got Tokico Adjustable Illuminas...
I wanna drop my car like... 1.5"... and I wanna get 15" c8 rims. Now what size tire is best? 45's or 50's or even 55's? And with this low of a drop is there anything else I need to worry about?

I agree what you need to do is get the car corner weighed and/or aligned.
A camber kit is necessary after a 2" drop or more. And for 15s I suggest 205/50x15".
