It affects camber, caster, and toe once you start to lower it.



I lowered my 74 1.5" and it gained about 1* positive camber, lost 1* caster, and another 1/8" toe in. Exactly what you don't want when lowering a car.



Just remove all the adjusting shims from the upper a-arm and set toe-in to 1/8".
