#21494, "When is a Camber Kit needed??"


          

I'm going to be getting 18s and going to install Eibach Pro-Kits and maybe some Tokicos. Anyways, would I need a camber kit with this set up or are they only for much bigger drops like 2" or something. I don't want my tires to wear fast or uneven. Please let me know. Thanks a lot.

You will need a kit. I'm on prokits with 17's and have -1 to +1 camber correction kits...all is good so far with my tire tread

You'll definetely need an alignment and most likely some sort of camber correction. I have Prokits with Tokicos and if you don't get a kit and alignment, your tires could look like this:

Yeah you'll need a camber kit. I'd suggest going to Road Race Engineering and buying their 2g offset bushings. Btw you have the black 2g with the turbo wing right? emoji See ya around the 626.

Thanks for all the replys. Where should I get a camber kit and do brands matter? I don't have a black turbo, I have a silver 99 GS OZ Edition.

For Prokits you don't need a whole kit. I have the Ingalls spacer/washer kit for the rear and that works fine. It's basically the same idea as the $15 camber mod on the "mods" page, but with thicker washers. I used 2 washers on each of the four bolts that hold the upper control arm to the frame on either side. Honestly, I forgot where I bought this kit but I'm sure that someone might have a link.

What about the fronts? I'm gonna be installing the Tokico HP springs/strut package. Can you use the $15 camber mod for the front too?
thanks

For Prokits you shouldn't need any camber correction in the front.

What do you guys suggest for a 2.75" drop in the front? What should we do about a 2.5" drop in the rear?

Would the Eibach -1 work?

Correction: Eibach +/- .75... will they work?

Thank you much...

Nackers, I'm dropped about 2 inches and my front camber was off around 1.25 degrees so I bought a 1.25 to 3 degree kit. Since your drop is lower, I'd say a 0.75 degree kit would not be enough.

For the rear I did the $15 camber kit mod with 6 washers and that set it right on spec according to the alignment shop.
