Camber Question
I'm planning on lowering my car by around 1.7-1.9 inches. Can I get away without getting a camber kit?

Just ordered front camber bolts, and SPC rear control arms. I'll be dropping the car on Megan Street Coilovers. Before anyone gets on me about Megan, I'm not going to be doing any drifting/autoX or anything extreme.

You'll wear away at your tires and bushings really fast if you don't.

Is there a way so you can lower the car, say 1.5 inches and remove the negative camber? To maybe -1 degree or less.

For a drop on simple lowering springs, like the RCE Yellows, Eibach Prokit, H&R Sports, etc, a camber kit is probably not needed. Especially if you don't know what your adjusting the values to. Don't let the only reason you adjust the negative camber out be because you think it's bad to have camber or that you think it wears out your tires. Cause both are wrong.

Too much camber can cause tremendous loss of traction, both for acceleration and braking, to the less than average driver, these cars are proving "dangerous" w the nannies turned off... Imagine that same situation, but with 1/3 less of each tread touching the pavement.
I agree camber doesnt cause wear nessecarily, alot of people associate the two because when cambered, the lack of traction often wears the tires down faster. My is300 had a little bit of camber and no traction control, i drove on very shot tires alot too This is how my tire looked when i pulled over to the side of the road from 90mph when i saw my (front) tire fly off the rim and continue down the highway The rims "life" was saved by half an inch of sidewall that stayed on the rim :/ |

I just hate the look more than anything. A bit I don't mind but I'd like them as flush and flat as possible

I dont like the look for my own cars either, the is300 was dialed out as far as possible w out a camber kit, and if id adjusted it much more the sidewall would have rubbed the fender

Anybody know how much negative camber adjustability there is in the front if i purchased the crash bolts with sportlines?
I'm planning on putting 17x9 +30 in front, just want to know if I can tuck it in with neg camber with just the sportlines and crash bolts. |

Crash bolts will let you add or subtract about 1 degree of camber.
