how much can u lower your car w/ correct camber w/o a camber kit?
i'm looking at getting some tein s.tech springs for now till i can afford some better suspension but i'm wondering if i can lower my car 1.3'' in the front and 1.4'' in the rear and still be able to adjust my camber to where it should be?

since you are using the s-techs you should be fine. anything lower than 2 inches would definitely require a camber kit. just be sure to get an alignment after you install the springs

Why not just save up for a camber kit and do it the right way? IMO you're a cheap *** bitch!

humm....if you have no useful information....why even post? Your like a retard who keeps asking for his ball. ******* like you are annoying .
Don't go lower than 1.5...you need to get your toe checked...and an alignment... there is a good DIY camber kit (bold and washer) for the rear wheels....ive been using mine for quite some time.
It would be best to get a camber kit though...but if your low on that 50 cent "metaphor for change" like me....then do whatever you like.

yep this is the general rule of thumb, any more than 1.5" drop and you'll need to start looking into camber kits. I have ST 1.3" drop which I find perfect for the street and it doesn't screw up my alignment. Just remember that all springs will settle over time so my 1.3" drop is closer to 1.5" right now.
