yes, get a good one. i recommend SPC (not apc ) upper control arms with the pressed in ball joint. Works for me!

front and rear?

distortedfuture

yeah, at least get the fronts. but i were you, i would save up and get the rear too. ingalls or skunk2 would be nice companies to look at. good luck.

Don't worry about the rear they can adjust the camber there by using shims or washers, it will cost u alot less then getting rear camber kit. unless u wanna be able to ajdust it then that is the simpiest thing to do.

EvilPhu

Yeah get both, skunk2 or ingall. Plus find a shop that can get ur car up in the alignment rack when you lower it that much. Some of my friend can't even get on with 1.75 drop, lips,header,skirt,etc catches the rack/machine.

i recommend skunk 2 for your car....they are great....just decide that you want coilover and slam your car......they will come through the engine bay over time.....I am referring to the camber kit......but they are a hot choice don't back out.....and look good....

MrIllegalX

Well if you're going to road race or auto-x, let the camber be, unless you want it to be adjustable. If you're going to drag, stock camber or 0 is good. Don't get a Progress kit, it's cheap and was a waste of money.

I would say ingall front and shims for the back.

Just dont be stupid like me and screw back the bolts on with the washers when they're not straight and cross thread the hole. Now even the OEM ones wont go back in all the way.

goodluck with yours though.

what will happen if someone didint get a camber kit with a less than 2 inch drop? in the same car.

JamesQ

Camber would be around -2+ since I have that drop on my car. Tires would wear a bit quicker as oppose to lower camber but get an alignment and have them correct your TOE and it shouldnt be that bad.

chads

so with an alignment and a 1.7-8 inch drop i would have minimal wear on my tires.

no you don't need a camber kit. after you lower the car, take it to an alignment place and tell them to set the toe to zero and not worry about camber.


oooo ya and for the people saying get skunk 2 camber kits BOOOOO on you do some studing they suck often come loose or even brake

CAMBER DOESN'T make tires wear fast TOE DOES

no you wont need a camber kit, thats barely even lowering it, and your tires wont wear.

The Internet Tough Guy

SpyderZEX

jeremy.

i have -2.0 and -1.75 in the front.....and i need a new upper and lower right side tie hook which is badly shaking from when i spun out. he suggested to heat up my knuckles but i will just get a camber kit. should i replace my control arms as well? how much does a ingalls or skunk 2 go for? thanks

slammed_93_hatch

wow im amazed that people are posting blantent lies in here, i don't know about ur situation ek_jeremy. but ABSOLUTLY DON'T GET A CAMBER KIT. and if you are just stupid and still want to waste money, then i say you better spend some goood money cause i haven't heard good things about most camber kits.
