how much of a drop till you have to use a camber kit? waht brand camber kit is best? thanks

 

when you lower the car you change camber, which affects toe. if you re-align the car to proper toe specs you wont have a problem unless you're so low that you have more than 2 degrees (negative) camber - at which point your car probably handles like *** and should be raised up. Skunk2 and Ingalls are running all the way to the bank because people dont know this.

 

i don't know about that when you lower a rsx more than about 1.5 inches you need to get at least a rear camber kit your tires are wearing unevenly. After i lowered mine they aligned it and corrected the toe but the rear tires were still sitting outward. However when i slammed my integra 2.25 inches i got a camber kit for the front and washers in the back but my toe was still off had to rotate the tires every 3,000 miles. I think your toe is off no matter what after you lower your car
also when they correct the camber doesent mean its perfect they try to get it within specs for my car the rears are within spec not perfectly straight if they were straight my 225/50 tires would rub

 

i lowered mine alot.........so i had to go w/ a camber........looks good....i got sprint.

LOL, funny you should say that. I had the skunk2 coilovers and had my car slammed ( to low in my opinion but oh well) and before I got a camber kit the camber in the rear was a negative 2 degree. But the thing was that it handled better in the rear when I hit the corners. Oh well the skunk 2's are gone and replaced with Tein Flex, and still running a negative 1 degree camber in the back.

If you need a camber kit go with eibach. But you only need the rear and not the front. Anything past a 2inch drop and you may want to consider the camber kit, if not the rear will have a really bad camber. Good luck bro.

 

Camber doesnt wear out tires. Excessive toe in/out does, and lowering the car will affect that but a $50 alignment will fix it. Now if you are slizzammed 3" then yeah you're going to get excessive wear and will need a camber kit.
