Camber Issued When Lowered?

I know with most cars when you lower them, the camber tends to tweak. More so with Honda's I have experienced. When I had my VW, and dropped it, the camber was fine. But, with our Mitsu's who has lowered so far, with what, how much of a drop, and did anyone have to get a camber kit to adjust the tires??

Well, I'm going with Eibach, and they'll get put on Wednesday or Thursday, so we'll see how it turns out. It should be fine cuz I think the drop is only 1.2 or 1.3.

Body roll is seriously reduced. In my case I found that the steering was also stiffened. It doesn't feel like a caddy anymore....much more like a sports car.

The RRM website does say that if dropped more then 1.8 camber adjustment is needed. I just ordered some Tein S-techs they lower the car 1.8 in the front and 1.1 in the back....am I gonna need camber adjustment???

You might get lucky and not need the adjustment, but if you're going to be right at 1.8" drop, you're just as likely to need it. If I were dropping my car that far, I'd get the adjustment kit and install it, just in case. That way, when I took the car in to have the alignment checked, it could be fixed right then. Otherwise, you'll have to get it checked, and wait for the stuff to arrive, install it, and then go back.

Rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. If you know what I mean.
