After all of the research I had done on HT.com I had decided that I would go with an Ingalls Camber kit for the front of my ride. My suspension setup is as follows:

H&R Sport Springs
Koni Yellows (Sport)
16" 40mm offset Rota Subzeros with 205/45/16 tires
(All to be put on next summer, so I have time)

At local tuning shop, one of their "salesman" (he also drives a GSR with 17' wheels and a 2 1/2" drop, with NO camber kit) told me they've had problems witht he kits coming out through the shock tower! He suggested that I put none on for the drop that i will have, and to just rotate the tires a little more often.

I've already got the kit. Do I sell it or keep it? I don't want to was money on tires and look all ricey with wheel tuck on 16" rims, but I DO NOT want to compromise the reliability of my car.

Can any of you help?

 

i suggest you install the kit. i've got h&r sports and my fronts are cambered pretty badly. especially with softer compound tires, they're not going to wear properly. i've still got stock michelins on so i dont have to worry about uneven wear because those shitty michelins feel like they're made of cement.

 

nobody else will chime in?

 

bump .....lets help the poor guy out here

 

definitly do the rears.
the fronts are a grey area.
if you're running less then 1 degree negative, don't worry. after that, some kits end up pushing the UCA out so far it hits the inner framepiece. i run -1.7 on my fronts with no real problems. you need to make sure the rest of your measurements ie; toe, caster are in spec though. it also depends on tire wear rating and how you drive the vehicle. if your constantly taking corners aggressively, more negative camber would be somewhat helpful in the front.

after u get those parts installed(springs, shocks,) get a wheel alignment done and see if your car is in spec. if not, put on the kit. Id have to say the REAR will probably be in spec, but not the front.

 

unless you are slamming you car and riding on 16" or better, you really dont need a camber kit, I have a more agressive suspension set up and it really has not effected the wear of the tire, the only reason why i would put a kit on is for racing so i can have different setups...any questions feel free to ask

 

Thanks for the bump, Dirty!

Thanks for you replies. I try to keep this in mend for when I install it next summer. The shop I'm going to is quite reputable so they should be able to help. Just want to be armed with the proper info....
