an inch anything more you'll need camber kits in the rear ..... if you go 1.5 you'll only need the kits for the rear, I have 1.5 all around and the front is off just a tad bit doesn't wear out the tires at all.

mine is 1.9" all around...been dropped for about 8 or 10 months or so, no problem with bad camber. i just rotated my tires a few days ago and the insides and outsides are wearing evenly. im sure a camber kit wont hurt though

boosted....did u get an alignment? cause at 1.5 drop, my alignment spec sheet was at rear -1.6 and -1.7 camber and toe was fucked up. yer probably wearing your tires out if you didn't get a toe alignment.

People seem to think there's a magic number. There is not.

Do your drop, get an alignment, then you'll know. It depends on way more than just what model car you have.

How far and still be in factory spec.. or before you NEED a camber kit for appearance, handling or to avoid uneven tire wear?

Im lowered with tein s tech springs and have no problems with my tire wear. I forget how much of a drop it is but it's pretty low and rides great.

since we have macpherson design on the front any amount you lower it will change the characteristic of it so you would need an alignment unless you got a shock or coilover that was adjusted for the drop. like mugen ss.

1.7F, 1.4R

I love mine. No probs with camber. Although a nasty pothole fucked up my alignment bad
