Default How low before cambet kit is needed?

Hey guys whats up? I have some front end problems and I am going to be checking my front LCA since I think it's bent. Figured I would make a project out of it and install the coilovers that have been sitting in my closet for a year.

Question is: How low can I go before I need a camber kit. Not looking to slam the car, only about 1" at the very most.

Tat is a loaded question cause every car is different. Also.. tire size... how the tores wear... weight. My advice, is get it on asap... nothing good is going to come out of it not being there

Lose the 17's



Really though it's not that expensive...just do it ASAP before any other mods.

Sorry guys I typed long in the title I meant low. I have not put them on yet. Was wondering how low I could go before I need it.

I have 17's with the same tire size on my CRX. I just lowered it enough until the axels were straight. Lowered the car about an inch and a half. No rubbing either!!!
