-1 to -3 will work out fine unless you have your entire rear suspension replaced

i would try to get a measurement as it is now so you have a base line to start from. i've seen them work from +1 to -3 on lowered cars so it may just take a few times adjusting to get the sweet spot. i will always start by installing them and testing as is cause most of the time you really don't have to mess with them too much.
if you are installing the UCA at the same time then start somewhere around -1 or -2 dergrees and adjust in small increaments. these cars are very sensitive and just a couple turns on the UCA adjuster can make a huge difference makingit easy to overcompensate while tuning.
if you have any questions just e-mail me.
