Pardon my noobiness but I've got the H&R race springs and was wondering if I needed a camber kit? if so, which one? I've heard bad things about skunk2 but I don't know much about camber kits so I don't know what's a good company to get this from.

thanks!

You will need a camber kit if you don't want the inside of your front tires to wear out quickly. Get the Skunks or the Ingalls.

If you really want the car to handle like a race car , and are not concerned with tire wear, don't get the camber kit.

 

Wouldn't a camber kit improve the handling of the car?

 

No camber kit = keep more of the tire on the ground around hard corners...

 

Depends on how you use the "camber kit". If you use it to correct the negative camber that you gained from lowering, then no it would not benefit you in the handling category.

But if you use it to ADD more negative camber, then yes it would be beneficial. Tire wear, honestly, is NOT a big concern even if you have -2 to -3 camber --- as long as the toe settings are zero. Camber, by itself, doesn't create ridiculous tire wear.

 

Don't ITR's have a stock camber kit? Just as long as your car isn't dumped.

better for handling yes , but too much camber reduces the braking and acceleration by reducing the contact patch. It's a compromise.

IMO, the ideal camber for a street use is between -1 and -3 degree.
