how bad was your camber when you lowered your car? im going to want to drop mine 1.5 in front and.6 in back but i would like to know how bad the camber comes out first and what you guys did to fix it, i have gf210 springs on the way

 

If you modify the suspension in such a way like replacing springs you'll need to get an alignment afterwards. Then it's up to you how much camber you want in the front or rear.

 

so your saying i can readjust the camber of my car just by taking it to sears and having them put it on the alignment rack and they would be able to adjust the camber without any adjustable uppermounts on the car?

 

i lowered my car on Tanabe coilovers and brought my car to Firestone about a month after install so theat everything was worn in. I had them do the lifetime allignment on it which cost me about 170.00 car looks perfect and drives fine. the only thing i would recomend is a camber kit for the rear and a caster for the front and everything will be fine.

 

rear camber is adustable from the factory, you don't need a "kit" to fix anything in the rear.

If you lower the car, you will need an alignment. It's not the camber that kills tires, but the change in toe.

if you need more answers try searching.

 

Evo comes factory with camber bolts so you can get some camber out of the stock set-up.

 

well on a scale of one to 10 how would you rate the camber on the rear and caster on the front?

 

^?

Do you mean stock? Modded? Be more specific.

 

HUH?!?

Just listen to what chrisW said because I would have said the same thing ... when you lower your car, mainly your TOE is going to change.

 

thanks for the help guys but one last question how would i go about adjusting toe? do i need a kit for this or can a shop adjust it?

 

The alignment shop can adjust it ...

 

The alignment shop can do it all.

 

is zero camber in the front bad?

This is what i came out with from TK performance:

FRONT:
Camber -0.2 / -0.7
Toe: 0.00

REAR
Camber -1.2 / -1.4
Toe: 0.25

My car is lowered with buddy club coilovers. He told me that since there is only two adjustments for camber in the front it is hard to get the camber perfect... so he recommended i get some camber bolts (SPC) especially if I want my camber plates (for my buddyclub's) to look even... (Previous post)

What are the factory alignment settings?

 

You should be able to get way more camber in the front than that. With a stock set up I was able to get something like -1.5 degrees on the left and -2.0 degrees on the right. With camber plates I could make the front camber to about -3 degrees. There aren't any benefits to running 0 camber and most people would recommend at least -1 degrees in the front.
