To dial your alignment back to recommended specs, you'll need to invest in additional upgrades. Can you get away with using stock dampers for awhile? Likely. Will you see some abnormal tire wear without nominal alignment numbers? Certainly. There's give and take with these type of alterations, and your pocketbook will eventually see a hit, whether it's buying coilovers and suspension parts now, or later when the stock dampers begin to fail or the tires wear out.

I went with performance springs because they were the right thing for me do based on my budget. I never considered coilovers because I've always used lowering springs with success. If you are lowering the car for the sake of better looks, springs will be fine. Just know that there's a lot to factor in if you want the same results with some adjustability.
