Re: Need a little help

can't really help with the second question, sorry.

as for the first. my take is: relative to the rear, the front camber kit is really cheap, like $15 if you only get two bolts, which should be enough to align it with a 1.5 inch drop. it's real cheap insurance against inflicting camber wear on $100 a piece or more tires. the installation of the front camber kit is a non-issue too. you have to take the crash bolts out to do the install anyway, so just put the camber bolts back, instead of the original ones.

Re: Need a little help

id recommend getting the camber kit along with an alignment the moment you install those springs

Re: Need a little help

I know i need alignment when i lower a car and also you should wait a week so the springs settel. I just wanted to know about the camber kit. The last alignment shop said they fixed the camber when i drop it 2in but a year and a half later i have 4 bald tires $550 gone, so im not going to trust them and buy an aftermaket cmaber kit.

Re: Need a little help

well then, you just answered your own question!

With a 2" drop:
You need for the coils to settle,
You dont trust aftermarket kits,
You had bald tires 1.5 years later,

Need i say more?
