How much drop with 17" rims without camber kit?
Does anyone have 17's with 1" drop or any drop without a camber kit?

Rep Power: 0 I have 17's and 1.6 inch drop with B+G springs and my car aligned PERFECTLY... no camber issues at all... in fact, i wish it would have been a bit lower... like 2.2-2.3 inches... oh well... at least I don't have to worry about a camber kit...

I installed a rear camber kit for my 1.5" drop. I could tell there was a big difference in the camber angle after lowering in the rear. If you want to save your tires get a kit.

Rep Power: 267 yeah I find it hard to believe you cna drop it 2.5" and not have any camber issues cause I dropped mine like 1.5" and I had noticebale camber! I hope you guys arent just eye balling to see if you have neg. camber? Id get the kit and save money on tires over the years

Rep Power: 0 same as above. i dropped 1.5 and my rears were noticeably off. i would go by the general recommendation to get a camber kit if you have more than an inch of a drop. i personally would invest in one even with your current drop to be on the safe side. in the long run, it'll definitely save you some money.
