Other things needed after lowering?

Hi All,

I am contemplating on lowering my 2016 228i with dinan lowering springs and the supplemental ride kit. For those who have done it before, does anything else need to be done after the install in order for the car to ride like how its supposed to? I am talking about things like suspension geometry adjustments or additional hardware like camber plates, etc. Excuse me if I just sound out of the blue or dumb but I have never had experience of properly lowering a car before so any information would be very helpful. I just want to make sure after lowering the car, the car will handle like how it is supposed to and the ride quality wont be messed up because I did not do those extra things necessary. thanks

Check if your tie rods are in line with your control arms (both pointing down a bit or parallel with the ground). Bump-steer sucks.
