Suspension Techniques had them (drop forks and arms), but there were problems with the integrity of the metal they used. I think they might come out again with different or stronger metals in it.

Maybe you didn't read my post close enough. You don't want it on your car cause it will fail. How would like to loose one corner of your suspension while driving? Not pretty.

Looks are deceiving. How low are you dropped again? Getting an alilgnment would help greatly to determine how much your alignment is off.

I think H&R makes something that can correct improper camber. They seem to be relatively inexspensive, like $35.00 a pair. Here's a link to what Im talking about. Im not too knowledgable about what they do or how good a job it would do so maybe someone can help if they are something worth looking into. My bad, for some reason its not loading to the exact pg. I want it to so once you click on that link, click on triple c camber adjustments.

i dropped mine 3" so i was in desperate need of a camber kit. i got one from progress auto. it's the new kind. instead of the old rocker arm adjustment, i got the adjusting bolts. it only fixes up to 2 degrees though. so my camber is one degree off in the front and 2 off in the back, but i've had no trouble with treadwear. hope that helps...

is there any rule of thumb for how many degrees you'll change for how many inches you drop? im probably going to drop about 2" or so, and that H&R camber kits does 3º and its fairly cheap..
