Question about Coilovers!!!
Ok, today i'm ordering my DropZone coilovers. I wanted to know if I keep it at stock height for a while will that mess up my camber??? I don't have a box in the trunk, so no added weight, I'm probably gonna do the rear camber trick, but will i be ok for the front if I keep it at stock height most of the time??? and Exactly how fast do the tires wear without a camber kit??? thx for all replys!

w/o a camber kit your tires will wear out quickly i *HEARD* that up to a 1.5" drop is ok w/o a camber kit
also i'd be interested to know if i can have coilovers at stock height and keep my stock shocks until i get more moola

just a thought, it is very difficult to know exactly what your stock hieght was once you have the coilovers on. why not shell out the 40 bucks to get an alignment done? Incidentally, my lazy ass has still not gotten an alignment, but my tires dont look abused yet, and none of them have exploded yet, so Im all good so far. I also didnt lower the car very much, my wheels are not tucked in yet.

you should only need a camber kit if you lower more than two inches. I would recommend getting an alignment done the minute you do anything to your suspension, cuz most likely youll throw your toe in off. I was lazy for over 6 months before I got an alignment, cuz I blew a tire. Spending the 40 bucks now will save you a hundred on a tire later.
Im not sure but I think your stock shocks will be okay if you leave it near stock height. My coilovers wont even come close to that height, so I never tried it

unless the spring rates are close to the oem spring rates, you'll blow the struts quickly due to over working the piston in an attempt to control poorly designed, overly stiff springs... lowered or not.
