Did you get an alignment after the drop??

Camber kits depend on what you will be doing with the car and how much you are willing to spend??

I'd go with full adjustablility...I'm 1/2 done with my setup which I'd recommend to anyone

SPC front uppser Camber Arms---$250-$300
New front tie rods/ball joints---$50-$60

Rear SRR Camber Arms---$95-$100
Rear SRR Toe Arms---$80-$90
Rear SRR LCA's---$200

I have the rear done right now and the car feels great.....a good alignment will do wonders for turns and or traction

Typical Alignment specs:

-1.5 degree Camber front
1/32 toe out per side front (total 1/16)
-1 degree Camber rear
0 toe rear

-Jose

Mines a 92 hatch....

Do an alignment...even though it goes straight the tires are not touching the ground correctly......

my car handles very well...still need work..the front end is stock..no sway, strut bar or anything........look for a huge post on my suspension soon...

get the camber kits and drop it at the same time...then get an alignment......save you some cash..

Rear camber can always be done with washers for free....for the front, you can look at progress kits or like I said go bank and spend cash on SPC or Skunk2

it might not be the camber that is off its toe that wears tires the most. my camber was fine it was the toe that was off
