Front should be good with that minimal of a drop, and acutally make it handle a bit better. The rear can be fixed for $20 with the home depot washer/bolt mod

Bingo. And there should endeth the thread (although I might argue a little about a 1.5" to 2" drop being "minimal").

But now we will have to sit through a whole bunch of posts about camber wearing away tires, blah, blah, blah, when the issue is toe. It'll end up being a 50-post thread like all the previous on this topic. And along the way, I'll probably give out a few negative rep points.

But how can a toe wear out a tire?!



Good info, though. I recently went through the method of checking my camber/toe and sure enough, the wheel which was being eaten up on the inside of the tire surface and the toe was pretty off. Corrected that and - viola. Less road noise, rides smoother, etc etc

From my experience, upper rear eccentrics are too problematic and that the DIY bolt and washer method really IS the best option if you don't do your own alignments. Maybe even if you do.

Ding that!

Nice. (And good advice, too.)

I'll second washers & proper grade bolts for the rear. The +1 kit should be fine for the front.

As for the drop, don't do 2"s, its too low if you actually want the car to perform/handle well (don't need to go into the details here, there's already tons of info as to why not to do this on the site, if you search abit). Stick to about 1.5" drop max.

thanks, so i will most likely stick wiht a 1.5 drop. but +1 kit for the front and rear should be fine?

With a 1.5" drop they should be more then enough, that is if you do plan to run abit of camber (typically you want abit more then stock specs if your looking for the car to handle better). -1.25 to -1.5 camber in the front is perfectly fine for a daily driven car. With that amount of camber & a 1.5" drop, those adjusters should allow more then enough.

Personally, I'm just using the offset bushings in the front which only allow up to +.75 adjustment. With ~1.5" drop & -1.5 camber, I still have lots of room to take more camber out if I wanted too.

So how do u fix the tow just with the front camber kit?
