Lower the car next, or paint the lower cladding...that's the question

Have now lowered 3 cars, springs, struts and thicker sway bars done so far on 2 of the 3, plus replaced bushings.
I have yet to run into camber issues. It sounds like the main risk with moderate drop is a small percentage of additional tire wear / uneven wear. That could always be addressed a few years in the future.
It may be that you've noted the more extreme examples of slammed 124s.

RBYCC I hope you're right. However I've read countless post that say they needed to do something to correct their camber after they've lowered the car. I'd hate to have to buy new tires every year. I'd rather spend the money upfront now to do it right.
For those reading this post, how many of you lowered your car and have no issues with camber like RBYCC?

Suggest you just do it "right" the first time like everbody else does...slam it, camber arms,huge brake rotors, LSD, cold air intakes,bottom out, tires hitting inner fender, break things....all in a effort to harness about 160RWP.
I'll stay with my old fashioned beliefs, make power, not break anything and go fast....
