Probably not -- a small amount of negative camber will be introduced, but
that's a good thing.

These bumpers are made of EXTREMELY hard rubber.  Since you are lowering
your car without shortening the strut, you will likely be on the bump stops
from time to time.  I would recommend avoiding these hard bumpers (I bought
some and, after looking at them decided not to use them.).  The Koni bump
stops are softer and will still provide protection from bottoming while
giving more control and comfort.  The dilemma is how to use the Koni (or
other suitable) bumps with a dust boot.  I finally gave up on this one and
drive with no dust boots on the struts.

I hope that this information is helpful.
