Posted by xEclipsE RaceRx, Jul-14-02 03:28 PM
Ok so I should be recieving my tokico blues and h&r race springs any day now...and a couple of my friends are askin me why i didnt order a camber kit....and i told them it was b/c i dont know how many degrees i need to adjust my camber...cuz most kits i see adjust by 1 degree...but what if my camber is off by more than 1...so i would have to go thru the trouble and get a bigger degree adjustment....but they are like...just get the big one...and install it while you install the springs and struts...so you wont have to get 2 alignments and have to take off struts again...well what do you think?>

You really should get the camber kits. It'll save you the install time (or price if you are paying somebody).

The back, you can do the $15 dollar mod so you won't feel like you're wasting money.When I did my Eibach Sportlines ( about 1.6 inch drop) the back was like negative 3 degrees. I'm sure the lower you go, the more negative it'll be. I'm sure your HRs are going to be about that low if not lower.

The fronts on mine's was not as bad and was negative 1.5 degrees.

Get an alignment afterwards.If your toes are not straight, it'll mess up your tires faster than not having the camber corrected. Hope this helps.

you will be hella low with those h&r race springs.. you will need both front and rear camber kits, and if you can get them and put them on when you install the rest of the stuff it will help you save time, but you can do it afterwards if you have to, but dont go too long, because then there might not be much of your tires left. :-) might want to even get some adjustable camber kits, that way when you take it to get aligned they can probably adjust the kits to spec.
