  • camber adjusting

    alright, tomorrow i will more than likely be ordering my lowering springs...i'm not fully sure which springs i want yet...but it'll be anywhere from a 1.5-1.75" drop. Will this screw up my camber alot so much that i will need to get it adjusted at a tire shop? and how much does this usually cost?

    It put my camber right where I wanted it...

    But it did throw the toe off.

    Probably cost you 60-75 to have it aligned. I just reset the toe on mine myself.

      I have seen front wheel alignments for about $50 to $60 here.

        I know a guy at an alignment shop, so I can get my alignments done for $30. $60 for just front wheels seems a bit steep, most shops I see do them for $40-50.

          with lowering it almost 2 inches will the camber be able to be adjusted to compensate with that low of springs? or will i have to get some sort of camber kit?

            you wont need a camber kit..

            do you know what specs you want?? post them up and i can make some recomendations.. otherwise jsut go with the stock specifications..

            and yes about $50-60 is about the going rate..

              See the specs on my website for good alignment values. Try to get toe dead on zero.

                Why are the camber angles for the factory setup positive?
