Exclamation skunk2 springs

i just bought these skunk2 springs for 135$ for the whole set brand new and i was wondering if i need a camber kit. i can get a camber kit for 74$ brand new.. front and back.. does anyone know? and also if you have these springs how low did it drop when you put them in? and yes i know what the manufacterer says about how low its going to drop..

Re: skunk2 springs

I dont use skunk 2 springs, but generally everyone, and myself included say that with a drop over an inch, get a camber kit. Camber kit is 74 dollars, think about how much new tires will cost, and trust me they will wear out, FAST.

Re: skunk2 springs

the drop is probably going to be 1.3-1.5", but the rear is also going to depend on what you have in your trunk. camber kit: yes, you got a good deal on the springs and it will save you uneven tire wear in the future. i installed a set of springs with the help of a few other guys in a couple of hours (we did have some trouble loosening some of the bolts). a suggestion when installing: set the car up the night before on jackstands with the wheels off, spray pb blaster all over the bolts you need to take out - it will make the job go a lot faster.
