Do you need to purchase a camber kit if you are putting on sportlines? thanks for the help!! Sorry if its a repost.

 

You don't have to but it's a good idea to put a front camber kit on.
It will save your tires from uneven wear. You tires are used to a stock position.
The camber kit will adjust your wheel pitch back to stock settings after being lowered.
So your tires will remain in the same tread pattern. I have one and love it.

Here is link to buy one. The best $20 you can spend.

thanks

 

Anytime bro, anytime.

 

has anyone actually used that camber kit?

 

Yeah I have it on my car. My wheel pitch is back to stock settings.

 

How much did it change the camber? That's a question I've been procrastinating to ask.

 

Well before I put the camber kit on the wheels had a 12 degree pitch inward. After the camber kit was installed and the allignment it was at 9 degrees which is factory spec.

 

Right on, thanks for the info. Didn't look that much from what I've seen.

 

so how much of a difference in wear are we talking? noticeable or not? i can get the camber kit but i wont have the means to adjust it, so its kind of pointless for me...

 

Well like I said, 12 degrees without the kit, 8 degress with it. It's not a huge difference but it will be noticable after some miles.

 

how easy is it to adjust? do you have to take the wheels off? im not lazy or anything but i just moved to VA and have street parking.... so i have no where to work on my car =/. So for the next year or 2 i will be paying labor for things...

 

If it's that big of a deal, you can take it to just about anyone who puts on tires. Most places will have wheel alignment machine's, and they'll do it all for you. Obviously have to pay for it, but you will have it right.

 

do you think they will know how to adjust the camber kit since it's aftermarket part?

 

ok i can purchase it afterwards right? or is it best to do it when they are installing the sprigns? Thanks... How bad of extra tire wear will i get? or uneven?

 

OH MY GOD......LOL ..... you dont need the kit. Car aligns to specs without the kit. The techs dont know why one is available and totally know it is not necessary for steet use. If your racing you want the kit to set up the camber for extreme conering. the kit is useless for a street car.

 

thanks, i thought it might be...

 

Umm...I was under the impression that tthe best street setup would be -1 camber, but here you claim -8!!! Am I missing something here?

 

Negative Camber is a national car club baby, Whoo Hoo! NC!

 

so i dont think ill get the kit unless im begging to spend $20. but ill get it eventually
