I am planning on lowering my car when I get everything I need. I am probably going to be getting Neuspeed Race springs. I was wondering if I am going to need a camber kit? The car is going to be lowered 2.25 inches in the front and 2 inches in the rear. Do I need it for the front and rear? Which camber kit do you suggest I get if I need it?

 

you may get away with camber if you get an wheel alightment.
If not then get camber kit, ingall is nice!!

Would it be a good idea to buy used ones? Here is the Ebay link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...&rd=1

Do I need it for the front and rear? I was planning on getting a wheel alingment.

How much is your car lowered?

 

What shocks do you recommend for use with the neuspeed springs?

 

Bad toe eats tires more than added negative camber. Get a 4 wheel alignment and you'll be good to go.

What he said....it took me a while to figure that out. Make sure you get an alignment after you drop it....you will likely effect your toe (in or out) neg camber is good some times


if you want you car look on the FAQ thread at the top of this forum. Scroll down and look...it will say bolt and washer camber kit or something like that. all in all...it will cost around 7 bucks and isn't that bad. I still had to get it aligned after i did it.

good luck

 

I cant fnd the FAQ. I am glad that a couple of people are saying that I dont need a camber kit. I really dont want to spend the extra money if I dont have to. Does anyone have a pic of a drop of 2.25 in the front and 2 in the rear?

 

save your money and buy an inexpensive pair of coilovers..
you have the freedom to go as high/low as you want with a shock that
is made for the spring.. No blown shocks, and if the drop is too low you
just raise it...

try either Omni coilovers, or Nex coilovers, both offer a nice tight ride with the freedom of adjustability and the shocks don't blow..
***JUST MAKE SURE YOU GET AN ALIGNMENT** and you shouldn't have any problems with camber unless you autocross or race the car daily

I really dont want to put that much money for coilovers. I am not going to adjust the height once I get alignment because I dont want to keep paying to get my car aligned.

How much are you lowered though? 2.25" is quite a bit to not need an alignment. And by the way camber affects toe, but toe doesn't affect camber. If you have negative camber, especially dropping it over 2", you WILL have bad toe 99% of the time. I would suggest a camber kit since it is not too adjustable on our cars. I only lowered my car about an inch and I had noticible camber.

My friend's car is lowered 2.25 in the front and 2 in the rear and all he had to do was get an alignment, he has no camber kit.
