will i need a camber?

hey guys i'm planning on getting nuespeed springs with my stock shocks and wheels and whatnot. and i'm wondering if i'll need a camber kit with it. i'd appreciate those imputs of ppl who have neuspeeds and if the ride is good, and if the handling is good. and if their alignment had gone to hell or not???? thanks guys

I just ordered my neuspeed Race springs yesterday, with chamber kit, just to be safe. It's a pretty drastic drop, so I did it anyway. Yes the stock struts will blow...it's only a matter of time.


BTW, welcome to the site....

If you lower your car you will need a camber kit. Unless you like buying tires every 6 months.
I have Eibach Pro-Kit spring and it barely lowered my car, but the camber was still off.
Kits are fairly cheap for our cars. Can't remember how much I paid for mine.

Do I need a camber kit?
You dont NEED a camber kit even with a 5" drop. however, with any type of drop(even if its .5") you should get one in order to get a correct alignment. most people will say that with a drop lower then 2", a camber kit is HIGHLY recommended. just think of it this way would you like to save $200 by not getting a camber kit but replace your $400-500 tires twice a year? just invest in a camber kit, it'll save you in the long run.

You need realignment.
