I'm looking to lower my car but what's the lowest I can go until I have to get a camber kit? I did search the forum but I didn't find anything definitive... Thank you
I find that's not necessary true on all cars. I had lowered Lexus before and did not need a camber kit to stay within factory specs. I did it with a Nissan 370z as well. I'm looking to buy tein coil overs but at the highest settings, it still lowers the car.
There are many factors... What are you trying to accomplish with a camber kit: - reduce any negative camber, or just some of it? - add camber to fit a wheel/tire combination without rubbing? Depending on the wheel/tire diameter/width/offset, you will be able to achieve different camber.
I'm just trying to stay within stock camber specs...rolling on some 17" persona wheels...looking to get some plus wheels soon.
If you're just using TRD Springs or similar drop, you shouldnt need to get buy an actual camber kit. But if you can do them yourselves and plan to get an alignment anyway, the camber bolts/shims arent that much anyway. I believe theyre $10-15 each corner.
I'm currently on Htechs and have been for 100k miles and I'm still within factory specs. I'm getting a camber kit with my coils only because I want to adjust how my suspension sits when its lower but with most springs, it probably won't be necessary.
I'm lowered on Eibach or TRD springs and I'm still within range. So far tire wear after 35k miles is excellent.
I've been on H-Techs since 15k miles and currently at 68k still within spec even with some dirt/gravel road and snow driving. The twist beam rear suspension may be old school and not as high tech but it sure is stout.
I don't rotate my tires so my inner edges wear pretty fast,got the camber kit and it fixed the problem.I didn't lower my car but got a lot of weight in the back.
