Road magnet 1.5" drop do I need camber bolts and arms?

[The01Cav]

I am getting ready to buy lowering springs for the tC, and I was wondering if I need to buy camber bolts and arms for the car. The springs are rated to drop the car 1.5" front and rear. Some help would be very much appreciated.

that drop is mild, you will be good without it

[BlizZard]

you won't need them.


and a little "FYI" for everybody, the stock rear camber adjustment can be put back to spec with any kind of drop. If your alignment guy says he can't do it, find a new guy and never go back to him lol

You cant adjust camber with the stock rear links....they're one solid piece.
thats why they have camber kits for our cars

but there is a cam-bolt that you can turn to adjust the rear camber... I've done it myself... unfortunately, I'm at work and I don't have an exact pic...

I'm dropped 1.5 and had 2 degree camber in the rear , but it wasn't wearing out my tires drastically . since I didn't want uneven wear on my tire I got a camber kit for the rear and the front was adjusted with the coils . the rear will need camber links if you need an alignment . I miss camber though the car handled alot better .

Agreed. I had mine put back to stock when I got an alignment.

Bolts in the front - probably yes, but they're cheap. I got 'em.

Arms in the rear - Definitely not.

I run -1.5 all 'round, but going up to -2.0 on next alignment.

I purchased the springs tonight for the tC should have them by the middle of next week. Hopefully this should make a nice difference in the look of the car.

Watching, post pics for us.

[The01Cav]

I deff plan to post pics as I am pic *****. Curious to see how goofy the camber in the rear is haha.

[Ro_Ja]

There won't be any bad camber.

[BlizZard]

^ sadly...lol

[The01Cav]

sweet, for the week or 2 it gets driven before it gets alligned I don't want it chewing up the turanza's that bad. Even though those tires suck.

lol you're so wrong.

and they make kits for our cars for people like you who dont know that you can make plenty adjustments with the stock components and go out to spend more money on unnecessary parts
