Default Lowering...How does it effect camber?

Does anyone know what the stock number is? and what it would roughly be with a 1.25" drop? Is it adjustable? if so, how?

Also, would a camber kit even be necessary with a 1.25" drop? I have seen and heard yes and no. I am going to leave the stock 16" rims on for now until I can get more funds to buy new wheels.

Thanks for the advice and help!

No, you wouldn't need a camber kit for a 1.25" drop. It is recommemded for a drop of 1.75" or higher.

I am very doubtful that you will need a camber kit since that is a small drop. If you go for a lower drop you may need it. For me, I needed a camber kit for the rear when I used to have Neuspeed Sports which is a 1.75 front and 1.5 rear drop.

You're supposed to wait a week after a drop to get an alignment.

BUt if the drop is no less than 1.5", you don't even need alignment.

WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anytime you get major suspension work done on the car you should get an alignment, Cmaber might not be off from the drop, but toe in could be and that will rip the inner part of your tires up into metal shreads 100X faster than camber would.

Drop it, get an alignment, print out the specs of the alignment and post em up for us. We'll give you a better answer, but as of right now for a drop of 95%, you most likely ill not need a camber kit.
