Re: Camber kit again

Anything lower than 2.0" drop. Not too hard. Should take about 2-3 hours with basic hand tools.

Re: Camber kit again

Are there differences in more agressive camber changes? For example, I am only dropped about 2 inches, if that. What degree of kit would I look for? Would +1.75 degrees - +3.25 degrees be too much?

So what you are saying that if i get lowering springs that only give me 1.5 to 1.7in drop all around i DO NOT have to get a camber kit.

Even with that drop would i have to do something with the alignment?

Re: Camber kit again

after you drop you should take it to an alignment shop and get a printout from them. 1.5-1.7 is a mild drop and won't mess with camber that much, but you never know, you might just end up with needing one.

Anyhow, take it to the shop first.

Re: Camber kit again

This is what you will be installing at the top of your strut in your wheel well. Once installed you can adjust the 4 nuts at the top to get a zero degree camber. If you want to go the cheap and effective route you could just eyeball your wheels and use a leveller with a bubble in it against your tire while on flat ground, and keep adjusting through trial and error.



Personally I would get them with any lowering mod..
