Default Slammin' my GSR

I'm looking at suspension products to lower my '01 GSR. I've been told that lowering the car past 1.2" will negatively affect camber, and I will need to constantly rotate my tires.

I've read about camber correctors. How do they work, and do they really fix the problem?

I want to do the suspension the right way the first time!!! Please Help!

camber correction kits do work, however once lowered so far, if you bring the top of the tire back into spec, you may have to roll the fender lip.

Also as you lower it and correct the camber by tilting the top of the wheel out, you are also pulling out on your driveshafts which could lead to accelerated CV joint wear.

As long as you rotate, balence, and keep suspension toe in alignment, then you won't need a camber kit...

normally clicking sounds when turning is associated with problems with CV joints...
