How many of you do alignment and camber correction after lowering your tegs? I did both and it cost me a lot. I'm thinkin of lowering my teggy a lil lower since I have coilovers. But my concern was do I have to get camber fix all over again??? The tires I have now are still new and good condition has lots of tread left. I know I will go alignment but is the camber correction necessary??? Will it still eat up my tires and how fast do I need to change it out?? Cuz down here at Trueline they charged a lot. If I have to pay for camber correction too then I mind as well leave it how it is. It just seems kinda high to me still. So let me know what you guyz think thanks for any help.

 

Typically you need to adjust the camber after about 1" of drop... so I would say if you don't lower it more than .5-.75 more, you shouldn't have much of a prob w/o re adjusting, just get an alignment over again... they should be able to make such a minor correction to the camber and toe.
BTW, how much did you pay for it to be done w/ alignment ?

 

I think it was $280-360 total forgot around that price range tho. Cost a lot Thanks for your help. I know $40 was for alignment and i think $60 or $90 each for camber and some other labor charges. Their invoice is in my car and right now i'm kinda don't have time to go get it. If you want to know the exact i'l post it up tomorrow. Thanks for your help. Are these overpriced??

 

Hmmm, camber correction is included in the alignment where I come from. They adjust the camber and toe back to factory specs. I get hooked up so I'm only paying $30 for alignments. Just got the ingalls on the gsr and aligned....handles a lot better now.

 

I was writing my post when you were writing yours. DAMN, you need to find somewhere else to go. Did they install your camber kits or just adjust them? Too high. Maybe some other H-T members will help you out in your area and give you a better shop to go too.

 

I think I paid like $50 for an alignment and they included camber. I also got a 6 month warranty on the alignment so I can go in anytime and get it realigned.

 

Some places offer a "lifetime alignment" for a few extra bucks which is great if you have coilovers. You can adjust you height and go get it straightened out whenever you want.

 

Adjusting camber is part of the alignment process if you had provisions to adjust it. I have -2.1 deg. left/-2.4 deg. right camber on my front wheels w/ H&R Sport springs. I don't have a camber kit, but I got the toe-in set right and I'm hoping my tires will last for awhile w/ regular rotations. Also, when you do get your camber adjusted, dial it in to around -1.5 deg. in front for the best compromise between handling and tire wear.

 

No they charged extra for camber correction damn...If I just pay the $40 for alignment then thats all they do. They don't fix my camber. I have to pay extra for those which really sucks. No, I don't have a camber kit yet. I don't think its necessary for until unless I slam the teg. This sucks, anyone know a cheaper place in SD prefered? Or in CA is okay. Thanks for all the help guyz. Damn Rezon wish there was a place down here that is lifetime alignment that would be great no hassle but I think there isn't a lifetime alignment max is maybe 6 months.

While were on the topic of camber would you recommend that I get a camber kit for my car (kyb agx and eibach pro kit's)?
