1.7" lowere on a 1gb AWD
« on: April 22, 2004, 10:32:00 pm »
Will I need a camber kit if I lower my car 1.7" or is there enough camber adjustment in the stock suspension to account for the drop?  by the way, they are intrax springs

thanx

You will need a camber kit but see www.1000q.dsm.org and look under "C" for details on cheap ways and kits. Also you might end up higher or lower than what springs say. They are never that accurate because of vehicle differences

yep, it seems that this is not an exact science.  Unless you go Tein or something like that I guess.

My inch and a quarter drop Suspension Techniques dropped my car much closer to 2".  But on the other hand, I was able to just get a wheel alignment and have it in spec.  JUST in spec, but in.

go figger
