Default Lowering Kit

In reference to the Eiback lowering post... 1.5" drop

[quote]the good thing is that it has no camber issues....at least not when i got it...but yeah...the drop is not all that huge.[/qoute]

What is the lowest point of lowering before a camber kit would be required? Is it true that a 1.5" drop is within safe margin? Or is it less?

its not any specific height, varies for each car. Also camber isn't even too much of a problem, as long as it isnt like huge, and you rotate your tires often. toe needs to be fixed though when you drop your car, that can really mess up the tires.

for anything less than 2 inch, you would need a camber kit.<--my 2 cents.
I have eibach prokit too, little bit of negative camber=good for auto-X.
Just make sure to do the four wheel alignment after the spring settle.

yeah like what they said...differs on every car....but even with my sportlines(2 inches) I'm doin ok...just use the washer tick on the rear and let it go negative on the front....camber kit for the front is too much trouble imo for <2 inch drop...

You do mean anything more than 2inch, right?
