i have coil overs and my car is pretty low so i have pretty good amount off camber. is my car going to suck in winter and should i get a front camber kit to put camber to like -1 or something so the tires are more flat on the road

 

The tires that you use will matter far more than the camber angle. I drove through several Northeast winters with more than -2 degrees of camber, and did fine when I used the proper tires. A dedicated set of studless snow tires are ideal; look into studs or chains if you drive in icy conditions often. Make sure to use snow tires at all four corners as well, since the rear wheels still aid in turning stability and braking - two very important abilities when driving in snow.

You may want to change the ride height regardless, as plowing snow with your front bumper isn't particularly efficient. In order to avoid uneven tire wear, make sure to have the toe reset on an alignment rack any time that you change the ride height. Like summer tires, dedicated snow tires use a soft rubber compound and will wear through very quickly if driven on bad toe settings.

In either case, forget the camber kit. You don't need it.

 

sounds good, thanks bro!

 

if youre up in wisconsin, then im surprised you dont already have dedicated snow tires. it really is all the difference.

camber DOES matter in this situation because you do want it as flat as possible for the most straight line traction and less steering effort.

i could also consider raising the car up for the sake of the winter, HOWEVER you must get an alignment after changing the ride height, and align it again if you lower it back after.

this is when a firestone lifetime alignment is really beneficial.

 

If you have negative camber in the snow, your car will want to push through turns more
