#17004, "question about lowering?"


          

if i plan on lowering my car, do i need a camber kit right away? thinking about coil overs but what would be my best choice? dont have a body kit so im talking about slamming to the ground.

It really depends on how low you go. At a minimum you will need to do the $15 camber mod. I have coil-overs and I tried to go with out a camber kit on the rear and I went through a pair of brand new tires in a matter of 3 month emoji

yeah, 2 inches or more will warrant the $15 camber mod. just be sure to get it aligned immediately after you lower it. the shop may be able to pull you close enough to stock that it won't affect you much.

I lowered 1.5 inches and went though my tires in 3 months. Did the $15 mod in the back and Sprint Extreme camber kit up front and the new tires were perfect for 1 year plus of constant "spirited" driving.

Here's the shitty pics of my camber mod.

I had my ride lowered about 4in. Didn't do the $15 mod...went through a set in 6weeks. Put some new tires, alighned it, with $15...no problem anymore! i think that $15 mod will take care of it!
I personally like the angled wheels, so I can drift better when I need it emoji
