Re: camber kit

Most will say, "depends on how far you lower your car."

I say you should, regardless. Better to have it now, than need it later

Re: camber kit

I agree, do everything at once so you only need to do an alignment once...

you dont need the camber kit unless your tires are rubbing your wheel wells OR you want the tires straight up and down to extend your tires' life.

the lower you go without a camber kit the more negative camber you will have. which is bad for tires.

SO if you want your car to look kinda stanced and dont care about tires then just leave it alone. that's what i should have done a long time ago. instead i spent almost 2000 bux replacing all the suspension parts.

If you rotate your tires camber is not bad for your tires. Toe is what is bad. I prefer a little negative camber in the front and back.

I was lowered on Sportlines (1.5inch) and needed a camber kit.

The rear is all you really need.

Re: camber kit

The inner shoulder of the tire will face toward the center of the car regardless of where they are on the car.. Thus, negative camber will still wear down the inside of your tires regardless

I do agree that toe is bad, though. However, this thread does concern camber first and foremost

Re: camber kit

if your worried about time you can put the springs on then buy a camber kit it would probably just be easier to do it all at once though. You can wait if you want, depending on how low you go and if you like the camber or not
