Get your Evo Aligned before you worry about camber plates. A good alignment shop can take care of a lowered car. Mine has 2"/.9" drop and I thought I needed camber plates immeadiately. What I didn't realize is how much stock Evos are out of alignment. I took the following specs to the front end shop and the results after were amazing, the car handled much better and feels pretty neutral for the first time. No tire wear issues to worry about. Camber plates will give you the ability to do more, of course, I have some Cuscos on order from Quantum Racing. www.quantum-racing.com

According to the online service manual (before it became a pay-subscription service), there are two selections for front camber: -1.00 deg and -2.00 deg (plus or minus 0.5 deg).

Kingpin inclination 13°45’ ± 1°30’
Lower arm ball joint breakaway torque N·m (in-lb) 0.5 - 3.4 (4.4 - 30.1)
Lower arm pillow ball bushing rotation starting torque N·m (in-lb) 0.5-3.0 (4.4-26.6)
Stabilizer link ball joint turning torque N·m (in-lb) 1.7 - 3.2 (15 - 28)

REAR
ITEM STANDARD VALUE
