Front camber needed?

[Aproductions]

so I'm finally dropping the tank a little bit. I'm ordering the Tokico non-adjustable spring/strut kit and i found new bump stops and the STM rear camber kit.

My question is, Do i need the Front Camber Kit for a 1.5 inch drop. ( I'm fwd GST)

Thanks.

You don't want to have 0 camber. You want to have 0 toe, but camber should be something other than 0.

If you think both toe and camber should be "0"WTF you should take a college suspension class. Camber, Caster, Toe, Tire pressure, Tire size, rim size, tire wear, road force, and road crown etc all have to do with your alignment specs. For example road crown and acceleration, you need your front toe needs to be a little positive to compensate for road crown. When accelerating your vehicles body raises which changes your toe and camber. That's why some vehicles have negative camber in the rear and positive camber in the front especially RWD and AWD vehicles.

Not sure where you saw that I recommended both toe and camber to be set to 0

you also have to account for the roads you drive on most. county roads have less crown, highways have more and freeways have the most. the faster the speed limit, generally the more crown to shed water faster.

depending on suspension geometry (i.e.- SLA, strut, modified strut, solid axle etc.) as well as intended use, your alignment will change. a good street alignment (once again, depending on suspension type and geometry) will generally have more negative camber and positive caster, with a slight amount of negative tow (toe out) in the front. positive toe is common in the rear, but once again, it depends on intended use and design.

for DSM's, awds particularly, negative rear toe, slight negative rear camber and positive caster is reccomended, and negative front toe, positive camber and caster in front is what factory oem recommends.

when lowering, articulation, geometry and use, as well as intended use, projected power and expected flex must be accounted for.
