Negative Camber plates and shims -what, why, how to do-
#81
Yes, I agree they can be very harsh. Out here in Los Angeles, there are a ton of potholes and bad streets, so I know what you are talking about when you say the ksports can lose traction. When you get on a smooth patch, they really shine. Thanks for the info

hope someone still looks at this thread to answer my question ...
i'm going to lower my xa about 1.8 inches front and back. wheels are still 15 inches.
how much negative camber will it produce?
if the degree isn't too bad, what do i need to do to make it "toe-out" so the tires save thread?
since the rears don't change, how will the handling/braking be with just the fronts with negative camber?

Should be no camber I think.

further, 1.8", is that a spring manufacturer's rating? irl, it also seems to depend on your dampers. when my stock dampers gave out, my car dropped another half inch.

get the front end aligned if you unbolt your struts.

is the rear suspension setup the same type as the B? if so, the lower you go, the more positive toe you get. but with that slight drop, not thinking there'll be much if any. Nothing an alignment shop shouldn't be able to correct.

should be identical to first gen xb. the rear should be pretty neutral. i do not know how it would change from a drop, but the alignment shop should measure the rear to verify that it is within spec even if they are only doing a front end alignment.
