Lowering a Car Myths

[NickAlero2000]

Ok, so I'm just gettin the eibach prokit...
I'm gettin an alignment and such after, but do I need camber kits to ensure that I'm not unevenly wearing my tires?
I know theres rumors and such on this, but let me know!!1
Thanks!

no, you wont need them. i purchased a set when i got my springs yrs ago and never used them.

[Redog]

I did use them thou.

Eibachs only require one kit, if you are going to use them

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

what about with the Sprint kit anything extra?

[Redog]

The lower you go, the more you'll mess up the camber.

recommened: one camber kit for every inch, max of 2 inches ;)

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

any thing else I would need to know? I could just go to an auto parts store and see if they can order me one?

[jabartram]

i'm running intrax which drop lower than eibach and i have never had a problem with my alignment. the camber bolts are not required.

do u still need to get it alligned afterwords

[HazMatt24]

yes, anytime you change ride height you need an alignment

[zoL]

You don't need an alignment.

[cherrington17]

i'd still get an alignment

[Bad99Olds]

yea, probably a good idea.

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

I'm getting an alignment when I lower mine cause I got to change an outer tie rod end I guess I have two reasons to get it done after.

Technically once you alter a car's height form stock the geometry is different so aligments will only get it "close".. or so I've been told in my classes.

Regardless, I wouldn't worry about camber wear much.. unless it's extreme it shouldn't hurt the tires a lot.. I drive with the back tires on the Buick looking like / \ on the freeway and they still haven't worn funny.

Toe.. now that you want to get looked at. Easy to throw off and that'll really eat your tires fast.

Any time you mess with most suspension components you will need an alignment. Even if you did not change the ride height just removing the struts will require an alignment afterwards.

[Redog]

^^ Yes This is true

You don't need an alignment.
