im looking to drop my 00 ek soon....probably 1.7 front and rear. should i get a camber kit...or will i be alright without one. sorry for not searching first guys...

 

umm.... u should be fine without it but for better results i wuld go with the camper kit

 

it won't be absolutely necessary but it wouldn't hurt, either. When you get an alignment after dropping the car, they'll usually give you camber specs. You can decide from that if you need/want a camber kit or not. I'm dropped 2.5"/2.25" front and rear and don't use one. I should ... but i don't. I'll probably get one soon, though.

 

You dont need a camber kit, it will just save the life of your tires. I roughly have a 2 inch drop on my ek and i go through tires sort of quick because i am not using a camber kit.

 

i'm 1.75 front adn 1.5 rear, i did the rear washer mod for the back camber (cost $2 and now its at factory specs) and the front is at -1.5º of camber. i got a good alignmetn ($60) and my tire wear is perfect.

whoever says that their camber messes up their tires are wrong, its all about the toe in/out being fixed by getting an alignment.

 

i wouldn't waste the money on a camber kit unless u have money to blow like that...otherwise i think your fine with only that drop

 

For the rear there's a washer trick that you can do to adjust the camber. If I find the page I'll post it here.

 

that's what i just said.
