how much are you lowering it?
if its 2 inches or more, you would want to get a camber kit, so you wouldn't wear down the tires too much
but anything that is under 2 inches is ok but camber bolts can't hurt
im getting the Eibach Pro Kit, lowers it 1.3 in front and 1.1 in rear and I hear good things

There are tons of forums on this subject. I have chosen the Eibachs for my needs (daily driver / crappy roads). Adverse affects may be tire wear, your OEM shocks will wear out quicker if you choose not to go with coilovers or the Koni Inserts, and of course you will have slightly less ground clearance. The camber bolts never hurt. They are only around $30.00.

Hehe. Well the reason i ask is because i have heard that lowering your car that has awd is not good. Me, i can see no reason as to why this would be bad, so i figured that id ask the rexers for info.

Well lower it too much and you risk premature wear on your axles and perhaps suspension. But up to 2" is for the most part "safe."
