anyways i already did this drop and im throwing my wheels on my car tomorrow. They are 17in Racing Heart CP10's and the tire is a nitto450 i think anyways 215/45/zrated. How long do you guys think it will be until i need new shocks and do you think i will need a camber kit? anyone in here have camber problems? if so explain please. Thanks for the help in advance guys

wow! ur getting the cp10s? tell me how they go on the road cuz theyre competition rims..... i was planning on getting them too but i'm worried that they're too soft (or that's what i heard... someone dented their rims on pot holes and other bumps 3 times in a month and got rid of em)


anyways... if they're just lowering springs, normally you wouldn't need camber kits (unless the springs dropped u 2+ inches)... plus, the cambers become less negative when you put on thicker rim/tires cuz it can't flare as much

Got a picture of your stock ride with the H&R's installed? If not...someone out there must have a pic!

take a pic w/H&R drop w/stock wheels and a pic w/17" rims. front and back,so we can see camber of back wheels. how the ride? can the stock shocks absorb impact over bumps in the road?

camber on the rear with h&r springs is 1.8 degrees of negative camber. i didnt buy a kit, because it handles great like this. i have pics of my stock car lowered with h&r's give me your email and i can send them to whoever

you said they bend easy? I dont know but these are really really light so i like them alot. I hope they dont bend easy because i cant afford to buy new ones. 17's shouldnt bend that easy. Do you think my 215/45 tires should help so they dont bend?

h&r's with stock tires.... the drop is like 1.5"-2.0" right?? so how much gap is left? i don't want the wheels to be tucked.... will there still be a little space above the tires??? cuz that's wut i want. if yes, ill buy the springs, if no space, then i won't :)
