lowered on skunk2 coilovers , 1 1/2 fingerlength in the front, about 2 in the back.

Left front- -1.64 camber, 0 toe
Right front - -1.36 camber, 0.01 toe

left rear - -0.80 camber, 0.05 toe
right rear - -0.72 camber, 0.06 toe

I'm on potenza re730's with 60% tread left. I'm planning on new rims/tires in 16" in about 1-2 months. Should I bother with a camber kit? Or can I get by without one for awhile. I will probably eventually get one but I don't want to if it's not necessary.

I've had my car droppped on Eibach sportline springs and Koni yellows for a few years and all I did was get an alignment and get the toe in check... on the rears I did the camber/washer trick where you put washers between where the upper control arm bolts to the body/frame to "shim" it out... I went from about -3 deg to like -1.8 deg for the rears w/ the washer.. the front is about the same I think .. I rotate my tires at every oil change (3K) and I haven't had really bad, uneven, or inside/camber wear on my tires so I didn't bother... my tires are pertty expensive.. if they showed signs of wear on the inside edges I'd get a kit.. but they don't so I didn't bother.. .

just keep your toe angles in check and rotate your tires, check the air pressures and you should be good to go ..works for my car..

 

yea I bought a lifetime alignment for $150 so I figure if I rotate/align them every oil change or so I should be okay. I'm getting brand new kumho 712 16" so I didn't want to wear them out fast...

 

i just went in to get my alignment done too...says they cant do anything about my camber until i get a camber kit..like i didnt know that. He said everything looked good, but my camber is at like 2 degrees or something like that! he said its pretty bad...lol, so now i'm in search for a pretty decent but cheap (price) front camber kit.

 

check the link in my sig . the are reasonable. and got reall nice kits.

 

I can tell you right now that if you keep your tires rotated every 3K-5K miles you should not have any problems. I've had -2.1/-2.4 deg. camber left/right on my car for over 11K miles now and the tires are still even all the way across. Keep them rotated regularly and you'll be good to go.
