im planning on lowering my car maybe an inch or inch half with zeal b6's soon. will i be needing a camber kit? or can i just do an alignment every month or so to prevent uneven camber wear? if i will need a camber kit, are there any out there that are superior to others? any info appreciated. thanks.

 

imho: you should install your b6s, set your desired ride height, then go to an alignment shop to get measurements, you may not be out of spec...
why spend money on a camber kit if you might not need it...

btw, i have zeals S6s on my R right now and did not required a camber kit

 

whats the difference between S6 and B6 besides weight, price, and aluminum rather than steel? is it stiffer/harsher ride?

s6= aluminum, 42mm, 12kf/8kr SWIFT springs

 

i just looked on their site...
for both B6 and S6 i believe that street rates are 10/6 and circuit are 12/8
thanks for the info BlueR!

 

this might help you decide... & Provide you a little more info

you'd also probably want to rotate the tires way more often to further prevent uneven camber wear

 

thanks guys...
also on the site it says zeal s6 uses the same springs..the ID60 original spring as the zeal b6..but then in the pics..it looks like the springs are different..whats up with that?

 

you should have no problem with that setup.put them on,get the ride height where you want it and get it aligned.as long as the toe is set right,you can have a little bit more negative camber and be fine.both my cars are lowered quite a bit more than 1.5",with no camber correction.i got the toe set back to factory spec and i don't have any uneven wear problems at all.........the people you see who lower their cars and go through a set of tires every 5k miles by wearing the inside down to wires,and blame it on camber are the same people too cheap/stupid to get their car aligned and get the toe set.

Go to a trusted alignmnet place, and you should be fine without one. I never used a camber kit

different in color? or pitch, amount of coils etc?

anyhoo, you should install the Suspension first, then check to see if you are out of spec. some negative camber is a good thing.

 

the springs just look different...
