camber kits

is it necessesary to use these if i lower my car?

[tegdream]

depends on your drop....let your springs settle then get an alignment....this should tell you if you need one or not

[Smartiepants]

Depending on the drop you may need a quick alignment to even drive it

[tegdream]

it would be advisable to wait 2 weeks or so after installing springs to let the springs settle because the height will change ...unless u want to shel out for alignment twice

Depends how much camber you want and how low you are going to go

Also depends on what rim size you have.
Sometimes camber angles are good to help even the wear on your tires.

you won't need a camber kit at all for that drop
you'll need an alignment, but that's a given with any suspension mods

i'd definatly get some anti-sway bars in there as well while you're doing it.

Any lower then stock height will result in negative camber which can drastically decrease your straight line perfomance because most of the rotational force from your engine is being applied unevenly to the inside of the wheels. ((Remember traction is your friend)) (However negative camber slightly imporoves your cornering) Negative camber also causes wheel hop which can kill your launch. Negative camber also wears your tires unevenly. A lowered car without a camber correction kit is improperly lowered Plain and simple. A small amount of negative camber is good but I stress a SMALL amount.

If you care nothing about performance and have thousands of dollars to spend on tires dont get a camber kit.
