camber kit - do i need one?

[eyevin2c]

my ride is a 02 si
lowered w/progress springs
17" kosei wheels w/215/45/17 bridgestones


do i need a camber kit? car rides well and handles well. what's up with camber kits? wheels and tires are new so i don't see any uneven tire wear.yet.


thanx

you will absolutely need a camber kit ---

I have a 1.5 inch Sportline (Eibach) Drop --- I took mine to be aligned and they said the rears are -2 degrees of camber (Too much to fix without a kit) --- you have a lower drop, count on the inside of the tires being bald after about 10000 miles.

The fronts were -.02 and -1.1 as well -- im getting a camber kit all around when I pick up my rims (circuit 8s in 16")

if you don't want some premature tire wear that is uneven then yes...but if you're me, you love that negative camber :D

How bad is your camber? Way off or neglagible?

Man, I am just a touch lower than the progress drop, and
my back wheels look like a damn racing wheelchair.:D
My camber kit is in the mail.

it's just fine to me. It was worse when I had the wrong springs...the ones for the EX. The camber was terrible. But I like the camber I have for handling purposes

with that much rear camber your car would understeer like crazy. The car will feel more neutral with the rear end planted the way it is but will understeer badly. I want a front camber kit so I can have -2 up front and -1 in the rear for canyons and -1 all the way around for daily driving.

basically anytime you lower your car, you will need a camber kit if you want to be back in stock specs. You should get your camber checked to see if you will need one according to what specs your in.
