H & R + stock shocks = don't need a camber kit, you shouldn't be dropped enough to need it...

I went to this place down at dufferin and dupon. All they do there is aligment. For some reason, my drop is pretty low. I know it's HR but there's only one finger gap...

I doubt my Sportline would need camber kit, but got it anyway to save wear on my winter tires come November and since eventually I'll have 17s on. $240 next year and $240 now is same for me.

Too late anyway, Gusto's got them on order. And I can see a slight / \ on my rear anyway, kinda obvious.

It's again that saying how I "don't *need* one, but would be nice to *have* one"...

EDIT: Someone (Gusto?) convince me it'd be good to have one plz~ $240 can go many places!

the mechanic told him he didn't need a rear camber kit, but his tires are still / \.....
his mechanic might be right that it may not be essential, but i wanna keep my tire/rim investment in prestine condition as long as possible

s'all good [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

i still need an alignment to fix the toe in and out up front....i'm drifting to the right

Nope.... the konis for 7th gen does not lower the height. Some konis for older gens can adjust height.

My butt sagging and Koni's not straightening it out. Hi Tech says if Eibach comes out with new applications for our cars (once they find out they sag) they'll bug them for a replacement for me.

Right now I drive with 2 finger gap in front and 1.5 at back... Rides fine.
