Default Camber Kits.

Are they needed if you are dropping the car over 2 inches?

I just got these springs: http://cm.ebay.com/cm/ck/1065-29392-...m=140012747564

and wanted to know what I should get for my xB?

are these alright?

I'm also curious if I need something for the back of the car?

I had the DF210's on my xB for about 6 months (until I put air bags on) and didn't run any camber kit at all. It gave me a little bit of negative camber in front, but nothing that I felt needed correcting. My opinion is that you won't need a camber kit.

well if its only 15 bucks to correct that little problem I'm fine with paying it.

Will these be sufficient then?

Yeah I had a two inch drop on my xB for over two years and never had to worry about the front camber at all.

Default .....CAMBER KITS......

At my last alignment, the local shop said that I needed camber adjustment bolts from the dealer to be any more accurate. They also said that the rears were slightly off but could not be ajusted.

I bought the front camber kit for the front and I hope it will allow a more accurate alignment.

There is a rear kit that says that it can not be used if you have spacers between the hub and frame. These two disks go there, between hub and the frame.

Does anyone have experience with these kits?

Please report findings and impressions.

It all depends on your ride height. Are you doing air or steel drop or coil overs? WIth a steel drop you may need a camber kit. But with air or coil overs, you can just adjust your ride height and your tire wear will be even. Just keep a watchful eye or you will be buying new tires quicker then expected.

You really don't need one.
