#7772, "Do front camber correction with Sportlines or is the rear enough?"




          

Just wondering if doing just the rear correction with shims is enough or do I have to do the front too. I have 18" rims, so I'm guessing I'll have to do both. And if I do get the camber for the front, will it be driveable if I don't get an alignment? I'm hoping to do my front camber at RRE for 110 bucks. I dunno if that includes alignment already. How much is it on average to get an alignment btw? And how long could I drive without one before I start to see noticeable treadwear? That's all. Thanks for the info...

You will need camber correction at all four wheels or you will shread tires. Sportlines drop too much to not correct them all.

Yep he is right if you dont you will shread tires. The lower the profile the more the wear. I have sportlines with the extreme camber kit in the front and the shim kits wont be enough for the rear. I have made a steel bushing set that will bring the uppper control arm out around 1 inch so if your interested hit me up. I think its around 30-40 bucks crade 8 bolts included. late mike
