Alright, I see all theselowering springs. WHAT ABOUT CAMBER? How many of you are hurting your tires by your camber being off?

Adjusting Camber?

Camber kits??

Camber is definitely affected by altering ride height. Enough to be significant? Depends on the drop and what you plan on doing with your car. Coilovers are the way to go if you want to adjust camber.

I am looking to make my car ride and handle worse then stock. What springs work the best? Also has anyone here messed with camber, caster, or Toe? What rates are the stock springs? Are the progressive or linier? Are the coil over kits double adjustable for dampen and rebound? Do any of you know what I am talking about? Oh ya that's right, low = cool.

What are you talking about? So if you lower the car you get more - camber right? So insted of getting more - camber at a place that can align your car, you get a coil over kit to lower the car. lol I hope you are kidding

All I'm saying is that you can adjust camber with coilover setups because they come with a camber plate that allows you to vary camber as you drop the car. No alignment shop can adjust the camber of the stock setup in any significant way, the camber is fixed with the stock ride height in mind. The design of the coilovers allow it to work with a plate that has camber adjustability, which you can't do with a strut because of the way a strut mounts on the car.. you can get a fixed camber plate to compensate, which is fine if you stick with a single ride height after lowering the car. But with a mild drop of an inch or so, it might be fine. I haven't researched it. But if you want to change ride height for different conditions (i.e. Track) , then coilovers let you do so more easily.

would the Cusco Camber Adjustable front mount fix this camber issue when using just lowering springs?

I don't know. They may be designed only for Cusco coilovers. Give those guys a call.
