camber kits are useless. in my expierience. id rather have camber then my shock towers getting fucked up.
i think my car is still 4x4 despite being told by others that my shit is hammered, but i would still destroy that tanabe brace. like it would get so fucked up, especially on the shitty jersey roads.

Not to mention, there's more friction on that part than there should be because that'll be the only area on the ground.
Catch my drift?

Camber is the measure of how much the wheel/tire leans relative to vertical. negative camber means the top is toward the middle of the car and bottom is pushed out.
Toe is how straight they are on the pavement (pointing in or out relative to the long axis of the car). Toe is the big tire killer. you can get away with some camber - it will wear a bit more/unevenly than if you had like 1 or 0 degrees of camber, but wont be horrible.
The Ingalls lower control arm kit (rear) wont slam into the shock tower. I don't know if there is a solution for the front other than a-arm replacement that will allow for front camber adjustment without nailing the tower on a slammed car.

I'm getting some serious squeaking from the rear of my car. I'm thinking it's something suspension wise. I got my struts on about a month ago and the springs are about a year old. Any ideas? Just started tonight.

yeah. our roads are ridiculous.
what was the verdict on the camber issue..dont get a camber kit and fuck up your tires, or get one and fuck up the strut towers. If someone were to have a mild drop, what would you get? and if someone were to slam their car, what would be the best idea? thanks.

depends how low your drop is.
anything close to 2", forget the camber kit. For something less extreme, like a prokit or S Tech, get the anchor bolt Camber Kit.

Sorry to hijack but with a drop provided by GR2's with Neuspeed Sport Springs, which i think are about a 1.5" drop, what are the chances of my 225/40/18 tires rubbing or causing any problems? should i get a ingalls front camber kit and do the washer trick for the rear? or what should i get?
thanks.
thanks.
