Furthermore, tire wear theory can be debated on environmental factors such as heat dissipation/tread design, cargo/passenger load, tire compound, driving habits (fwy vs. track), etc.

Results can vary [/end cliche], so this always comes up as a somewhat 'heated' debate better discussed in this thread:
When To Use Camber Kits?/do I Need A Camber Kit?

Back on topic - subscribing to what has turned out to be a great thread.

that kid ric · 08-18-2008, 01:11 AM

sportlines is a good, clean drop .. i've been shoppin for a good drop .. i think i'm leaning towards these ..

08slvrsi · 08-18-2008, 01:24 AM

just wondering why some need cambers and others dont?....Cant i just swap my springs and be on my way?...

EvilSardine · 08-18-2008, 10:25 AM

The 08's have less camber in the rear from the factory which probably means people with 08's can get away with a bit more. That's just my theory.

rileyrat, were those photos taken immediately after you dropped it on sportlines or were they taken after the springs settled a few weeks later?

For some reason that isn't as low as the other sedans on sportlines.

A camber kit should always be considered if you are dropping the car, period. The stock camber arms will not be sufficient in providing you with a proper alignment when your car is dropped substantially lower compared to stock. The people who aren't installing camber kits are simply just opting for what the stock camber arms can do. It will adversely affect your handling as well.

^ depending on what drop you get! hfp, comptech and pro-kit really dont need need camber kits but they dont hurt! also for the fronts instead of camber bolts theres always the old school way of doing it

danjoy25 · 08-19-2008, 07:08 AM

It's unsettled, so it will go down a bit more. I kinda like it where it is, hoping it won't drop too much more. Also, the rear is in really bad shape on camber, makes my wheels look like the disappear into the inside.
