how much camber after a 2" drop??

[iNdo]

hey, im hesitant to lower my car just b/c of the costs of doing it correct..
i found some nice dropzone springs that say to expect a 2" drop front and back.... and that would be cool for 130$ but how bad would my camber be after that kind of drop. i always thought 2" was pretty dramatic. i really dont want to spend 130$ to drop it.. 130$ for front camber kit, and $130 bucks for rear camber kit....... :thumbdown
help?

If I recall correctly. I don't think you need a camber kit unless it's a gsx, at least not for the back. I could be wrong though.

Dont listen to him..


Just get a rear camber kit and leave the front camber alone.

Just adjust the fron toe back to factory specs.

Um. No.

With a 2" drop you will need a the ingalls 1.5 deg kit and the rear camber mod from www.vfaq.com. Total cost.. .maybe $150.

Go with Eibach springs over DZ.

The bigger concern of the "doing it correct" thing is the shocks. If the dropzone springs are soft enough for the stock shocks to handle them, you will bottom out with a 2" drop and the ride will be horrible. If they are stiff enough to not bottom out with a 2" drop, your stock shocks will be blown in short order, and your ride will be horrible.

The front camber kit thing is debateable. You will definitely be out of spec, but if you like to turn the steering wheel and can stay on top of tire rotations, your tires will probably be fine with a toe adjustment and a $15 rear camber adjustment. But if you want to "do it right", budget another $400-$600 for shocks.

There's no such thing as too much negative camber in the front of a 2G, unless your tyres are hard up against the inner fender tops.

You will need rear camber adjustment, which consists of 8 longer bolts and either a couple dozen fender washers or a handful of GM alignment shims.

A 2" drop with spring rates under 500lbs will have the car bottoming out constantly. You will need short-body dampers like Konis, otherwise you will be sitting on the bumpstops all the time.

You will need an alignment immediately as the toe settings from a 2" drop will trash the tyres very quickly.
