The first thing you need to do is take care of your bump stops. That's going to lower your car some more and change your camber again anyways.



Lets just say this... I'm over 100whp and soon to cross 200whp. Thanx 2GNT! Now if I could only learn to prove it.

My camber was about 1 degree of in all 4 being lowered with maxspeeds almost all the way down.

Not bad at all actually so I just left it there.

Get the camber kits with 3 degrees of adjustment. You will need it... if nothing else at least get that for the rear, you might be able to get by with less on the front. Although I thought my front wsa pretty close and the inside of my front tires is BALD. My rear tires are still perfect with the 15 dollar camber mod... but it was still out of spec, I could see that with my own eyes.

What are you talking about?? The bump stops do NOT hold the car up in anyway, they are there for when your suspension is in compression and they keep you from bottoming out the shock rod etc..

But if you have to take off your suspension to cut your bumpstops you will mess up your alignment emoji

Anytime you mess with your suspension you should get an alignment.

He lowered his car with some H&R Race Springs....his suspension IS resting on the bump stops.

...I use Ingall 2* in front and $15 mod in the rear. My front ingll are set at 1.75* and they ride perfect. I can get like 1.5" of measurment between my tire and the car at the top.
