#5967, "Camber"




          

I'm about to drop 2" and have a couple of camber questions.

1- How do I determine what my camber is? Is that something that an alignment shop has to do and tell me, or can I measure it myself?

2- What is the correct camber to have? Isn't stock -1 front, and 0 in the rear?

That's about it... any other tip/comments/suggestions welcome.

Just to clarify... -1 camber in all corners, correct? Should I put the camber kits on before or after I get an alignment? Thanks.

Put the camber kit before the alignment or else you'll be paying for another alignment.

Thanks for the help guys. Help me finalize this shit with a couple more questions just so I'm sure I understand correctly.


1. Stock camber specs is -2 at ALL CORNERS.

...and when I install springs, shocks, camber kits...

2. I should have my camber at -1 at ALL CORNERS.


Are these statements correct?
