Do i need a camber kit? It says in some descriptions that you do not need a camber kit. But on other forums every single person says yes you need a camber kit because it is more than a 1.25 drop. Can someone please clarify once and for all if a camber kit is needed with S-techs.

Thank you.

 

some do some dont...yes it is more then a 1.25 drop but most people say unless your going for more then 2" you dont need one, but theres been 2 people on here that installed them and said they had bad camber..everyone else i no who installed them there camber was perfect (including me)....so, im thinking, just to make sure everything will be fine, buy one..or you can chance it, not a very big chance, that it will be fine

 

What mills said.
Some do and some don't.
I was lucky. I don't have camber kit on mine.
I brought it to get an alignment, but the guy told me they can't do it because the computer can't read it because the car is dropped..
I've driven about 2000 miles with it now and my tires are fine. No wear on the sides
I wouldn't really recommend that though, because tires aren't cheap

 

i had -1.5 all around. i went ahead and got a front camber kit, but im runnin no camber kit on the rears..no noticable camber wear.

 

i have s-techs and with no camber kit

 

i have s-techs. did the alighnment myself, mashine worked fine( idunno what that guy was talking about, it was just hard to drive onto it) front was allmost out of spec, only about .2 degrees and it would have been. and the rear was pretty far out, two washers behind the bolts on the upper control arm worked well to bring it back to allmost perfect. the toe was way off so be sure to atleast get that set.

 

How did you do the alignment yourself?

 

get a car scale and find the weights on the corners (you probably want to do dry and with you in the car). general rule of thumb is the lower the corner is to the ground, the less weight there is on it. it goes against what you would think would logically happen but thats how it works. your opposite corners and f/r corners are going to be affected most. so if you adjust your back left, the back right will be affected most, followed by your front right. you want to try to get as good of f/r balance as possible and then get the best l/r balance possible from side to side. anything within 50 or 60 pounds of each other on the outside is considered good.
