[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] what does the camber kit have to do with an alignment? nothing right? i know after i get the camber kit and springs installed i should wait till my springs settle then get an alignment ;right?

Alignment gives you how much your wheels are off buy... Camber kit allows you to re-adjust the wheels to the right camber. Shops might adjust it for you while doing the alignment. But you can also adjust it yourself.

Wait a couple of weeks for the springs to settle to the correct ride height and do an alignment, if you need a camber kit after that then you can get it installed and adjusted then. Depending on your drop you might not need one.

a camber kit has everything to do with the alignment,it allows u to make precision camber changes after the car is lowered,i know there r many cars still retain the same camber within the specified range but many dont,it will make a more pleasant job for the alignment technician as well,u can wait few week or whatever till the springs to settle but they r actually startin to sag but ppl think they r settling.depend on the quality of the springs,i have H&R sport spring and they still look the same from day one.

you CAN adjust the front without a camber kit.. u just replace the 2 bolts with smaller adjusting bolts to compensate adjustment ,their part number is 90188-S5A-000

you dont need one for the front but depending on the drop you may need it for the back... but ya when you lower your car your camber becomes negative, since we cant adjust our stock control arms you have to get a camber kit. these are adjustable so that we can correct the camber. n yes the camber is part of the alignment

At least with us neuspeed sports, dont we need just the front and not the back since we're lower in the front?

doesnt look right just to lower the front cys the rear is already higher on a coupe.

i got an 01 sedan...i ordered goldline springs and spc camber kit from rob...they should be in soon....i also got 4 new tires for my 17's...katana concept-6's ....i got sumitomo tires..are they good? what do you think of my setup?

neuspeed sports does drop the front more BUT we have a different suspension in the front vs back. front we have mcpherson and back we have double wishbone(i think). since we have mcpherson struts in the front, the camber is hardly effected when you lower the car... probably like .2 degrees for every inch. and keep in mind anything around +- 1 degree is within spec. its only $20 so just get it but you dont really have to. but ya the back, lowering it 1" will probably change the camber by a degree. these arent actual figures but you get the idea...

so in short, ur saying that i should get a rear camber kit and not the front ones? Which one costs more?? let me know. thanks vnlilman [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

basically ya...
rear you can get for around $125 at groupbuycenter.com
front is $20
if your the paranoid type that thinks its better safe then sorry then just get the front ones as well, its only $20. keep in mind that you might actually want a lil bit of negative camber in the front tho(cause when you lower your car, i'm sure you would want to take those turns faster).
my friend got rims but didnt lower his car, ever since he got them he turned on this one corner very fast.. i just saw his tires last week and the left side of both the front tires are all worn out... of course having a slight negative camber would have helped the left wheel but made the right worse but thats why you take both left/right turns just as fast [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]
