Default new to HAN. my rides pictures

new to this forum,say hi to every one.

and attach a pic of my car, just got 18"installed do u guys think i need more drop? im on H&R sports right now.

i am thinking of getting coilovers, tei basic /SS.

i will do a 2" drop after the coilover, my question is do i need camber kit?

some ppl told me i don't need one, some ppl told i do need one, so will same car with the same coilover and the same drop produce different camber reading? one person told me he has basic, and 2"drop all around, his camber is oly -1.25, with in spec. please help me.

Welcome to HAN and nice car.
I dont think you need a drop, The wheel gap looks good in the picture but that could be just the picture. How much wheel gap do you have BTW.
Edit: I think you will need a camber kit if you do a 2 inches drop.

after 4 hours clay bar, polish, wax job done, finally made the car clean again. here are some better pictures.


right side view


the gap about 3fingers


reflection of the hood.


left side view


trunk. note the cheap rear bumper paint job...


side. from gap is bigger than the rear, may be that's because i have amps
and sub on the rear, or maybe the rear shocks are gone?


rear left view. the - camber


8000k SLC hid kit in oem hosing. ganna buy TYC and retrofit s2k projectors
need money.


output, not bad campare than one of my friend's ebay halogen projector.

Looks good with those Volks....

As for a camber kit, if you go to a 2" drop, you should get a camber kit ONLY if your rims will allow it. What i mean is that if your srims stick out too much (depending on the offset), a camber kit will cause them to straighten out and possibly rub.

Very clean paint, nice work.

Drop looks fine to me, but that's just personal taste.

The headlights are too blue for my taste, the S2K's will be sweet if you do it.

I think he can afford one more inch of drop and it will look hot
Edit: Like this but you need to drop the same hieght front and back
