If you lower it more than about 1" you'll need camber kits to put the car back to optimal alignment spec. Less than 1" drop and you won't.

I don't have a camber kit on my G and my camber is -1.8 (or close to it) on all 4 corners.

That isn't bad, and after 7k or so miles, my tires seem to be wearing evenly.

Thanks for the response. Is a 1" drop good enough visually for the front? I know everyone's drop preference may vary, but I don't need my G slammed. I'll try searching to see if anybody has their G dropped to that 1" max to see how it looks. I want to avoid an extra expense if at all possible, since the coils are gonna hit me where it hurts. I know the rear doesn't need to be dropped as much compared to the front due to the stance the car has from the factory.
