u dont really need kit in the front its the back u need. i dropped 1.5 front and 1.75 in back. front is ok but the back tire is like this / \ so u will need it if u have a sound system in back cuz it drops more. every one useally gets rear spc kit. theres a group buy rite now.

another question...
I got a 1.5 drop, with 17's and I knew just looking at it, that a rear camber kit was needed, with no money I waited a while.

My tires are spotted, so I went to the shop and he says he couldn't fit the rear camber, because there is no room in the wheel well. I really don't know too much about cars (still in the learning process). I'm assuming from the few threads I've read that he's wrong?

Help me out here.

yes you will!!! if you lower it then you will need one espically with a big box in the trunk. I have eibach sportlines with eibach camber kit.

I bet he meant that your tires are too wide and he wasnt able to install a camber kit and do a proper alignment because the tires would scrape. Just guessing..

Your probably right, I wasn't really paying attention. He did tell me I should invest in some better tires, recommending Michelin. What is your suggestion?

first what size are your tires? mine are 205/45/17 what i did was, got an air saw and cut the lip off the inner fender well, about an inch, so that will free up some room for your camber, if your droppin it about 1.5 and the shop says they can't then you need to find another shop.

i have ingallls front and rear, it's just a bolt kit for the front about 30 dollars, now the rear has urethane bushings so it squeeks over bumps:nothing you can do

other ways are to "roll" your fenders, i saw one guy get a baseball bat
and put it in between the tire and fender so that it bent that lip that i was talking about, thus rolling the bat.

i think the air saw is better

one last thing i noticed a lot of people saying how their rear end sagged lower than the front with springs, mine did the same i had h&r's took my box out and it still sagged even with proper alignment
so that's why i got tein ss coilovers

well ive got the car lowered friday and put the camber kits in the shop i took it to said i needed it in there so they could align. it right so im glad i did put them in . i have a spc camber kit and the bushings are squeaking too. starting to go away now. all i did was spray some liquid silicone on them so it will soften the bushings up. car rides good, better than stock. thanks for all the help yall have given me on this
