bah, hate to ask such a noob spring camber question...

BrineSI · 07-01-2007, 02:25 PM

I did a search and can't find this, and can't seem to remember how I did it on my old 99 SI back in the day -

Getting Eibach prokit on my fg2 and I have the skunk2 rear camber arms but will I need to pick up the cheap front camber bolts as well or will my camber be ok in the front?

It can't hurt you probably won't NEED them but they will improve handling.

the prokit drop is right around an inch or inch and a half?

that amount of drop might grant just enough negative camber to be desireable even for a street car.

but camber bolts are good none-the-less. especially if the drop throws the camber off so that it's not equal side to side.

I would say just buy camber bolts they're not that expensive I think it's around 35 dollars for 2 bolts.

The skunk2 camber arms are already in the mail, but I got them for $180 shipped so it was a great price... I'm anal about tire wear and like all my stuff to last as long as it can (uh, except my oem shocks which will last about a year now :) ) and I don't autox or anything, just some spirited driving around and about now and then but got the prokit for the comfy ride I used to have on my 99 and ofcourse for the better stance...

They're not needed and they won't cause more tire-wear IF you get a proper alignment done right away. 15,000 miles on a lowered car with rear camber and my tires are still looking just fine in case anyone wants to question that.

In most cases toe destroys tires and not camber.

You adjust the camber if you want to improve your handling. The -2.5 degrees of camber you'll have in the rear (in conjunction with the 0 up front) is not exactly the best way to make a car handle better.
