Camber Kit Question....

OK Guys, sorry if this is repetitive but I couldn't find the answer to my question using the search button...... I just bought Goldline springs and KYB GR2 shocks/struts. The springs are supposed to lower my ride 2.5" in the front and 2.25" in the rear. I figure I'm gonna need a camber kit of some kind. Do I need one for all four wheels or just the front? Also, what kind of kit is preferred? I see a huge range of prices for kits on ebay. Thanks in advance for your help, sorry for ramblin.

You will need a camer kit or your tires will wear like crazy. With that low of a drop I would get the front and the back done. Engalls is the most popular and probably for a reason. Most people say they are the best. I have used them twice on two differeent cars they do a good job with no problems. Get the rubber bushings though the polyurethane squeek really bad and need to be lubricated every few weeks to keep the noise down. I would do it with the spring install and save money on the installation and on your tires.

Thanks guys for the advice. I think I'll just go ahead and buy the kit and install it all at once. Yeah JT that's me benching 425. That was my opening attempt at my last meet.

425 opening attempt? Meh.

I always warm up with 525 then increase weight with every rep.
FOR LIFE!

you only need to really get a camber kit for the front. The rear will hardly wear because majority of the weight is in the front.
