Re: Alignment ?

It keeps your tires from shredding. You don't really need a camber kit with the prokit unless you want to get within certain specs. If you are willing to tolerate the camber your car gets while lowering with the prokit, then just get the toe to zero. And yes you can get 0 toe with the prokit.
