well i researched this topic and i still didnt find my answer..
1. whats the point of a camber kit if u can just get an allignment?
2. what does a camber kit do and why do people buy it?
3. should i get a camber kit if im lowering my car on stechs?

kinda helped..but still not satisfied.. :/

 

sorry man dude i have eibach pro kit springs i took my car to get a allignment and they said i needed a camber kit to adjust my back rims they said my driver side rim is a little butterflyed and the camber will fix that problem hope u find what ur looking for man

 

thanks..ill ask my friend. he mite be able to explain it better to me..but what does "spec" mean?

 

u know what if ur local to san gabriel valley or LA www.chris-garage.net could help u out just email him or hit him up on here his name is " 06scioxb "

 

spec stands for the vehicel specifications, what the car has and how it is set up, for example some specs might included ,HP, Weight of Vehicel, certain lbs of torque bolts need to be tightened to etc, I have the Tein S-techs and my buddy said i should be just fine with the alignment he gave me and he use to work at Toyota Puruzzi in Hatfield PA

 

Nope stechs have camber issues too

 

I currently have about 1.5-7 neg camber as the mechanic said at a local shop. I also just got some new tires and really didnt notice much on my old ones if i had any inner tire wear due to the camber? Im not 100% sold on getting the Hotchkis Camber Kit just yet because i feel as if i dont really need it. I actually like the look of some neg camber. The mechanic was trying to adjust it but said it wouldnt budge anymore? I believe he said i was at 1.9 and got it down to 1.5-7 (couldnt remember?). Just wanted to see what yall thought about getting one with new tires just put on. I had the other tires on for about 10k miles and never noticed anything about the rears wearing out differently on the inside? In the pics it looks really bad but actually isnt.

 

my buddy that works at autobacs told me that any 2 or above inch drop needs a camber kit. what he told me to do since i got stechs too is just get the front camber kit and align all 4 wheels

 

i thought i would need the rear camber kit..ima need to get it for the front too?

 

front, i dont think ive seen someone selling a front camber kit? I have Hotchkis springs with a 1.7" drop up front and have no issues with camber. I think you'll be fine up front unless you can tell like in my pics?

 

i think most people just modify the front bolt. the camber kit for the front that i have is just a bolt with a wierd designthat is longer in length. ____ed me off that it was just a bolt.

 

YANK! HOLY ISH BRO!!!! get a camber kit or you will tear through them tires like no tomorrow


a camber kit is to adjust camber. camber is the angle of the tire like this: / | \ (that is just a way to show what camber is)

toe, is changing the angle of the tire, in such a manner as when you turn your steering wheel. toe is MUCH more important than camber, but camber is also important.

2" inch + drop i would recommend a camber kit to correct the negative camber you will get

 

doesnt spc and ingalls make front and bak camber kits?

 

you typically only need it for the rear. the front should be fine. people that track their car get it for both to have better control over their adjustments.

 

I am dropped on Eibach Pro-Kit Springs...never had "any" camber problems!...Woo-Hoo....NOW I will be switching to Tokico Struts & Progress Springs...I dunno would I need a Camber kit?...the Progress drop is 1.8 inches..

 

well im getting stechs and im not gonna get a camber until later on

 

it's recommended bro. you don't have to, but it's recommended. i noticed my tires are feathering due to my camber. What I'm gonna do is when I get new tires get the camber kit and then do an alignment too.

 

I'm going to be getting Tein Basic coilovers soon and I'm probably going to adjust them to a ~2in drop. It might be a little higher, but I'm definitely not going lower than 2in. Should I look into getting a camber kit as well?
