I have an annoying problem my car pulls like crazy to the right I don't know if it's b/c i need an alignment or if i need a camber kit. I had my dropped for some time now and never went to get it aligned So what do u guys think do i need a alignment or camber kit? And if i need a camber kit how much does that cost?

 

Alignment... Camber has nothing to do with pulling left or right.

 

So what's the camber kit for?

 

reduces the negative camber so your tire doesn't get worn out from the inside

 

If your car is lowered, the wheels can tend to ride like this /-----\ . Camber kits adjust so it rides normally. |-----|

Although it's possible to be off in camber even if you're @ stock height. *raises hand*

 

Why is that the high end cars i have seen like bmw m3's rear wheels look like that /----\
or are all the cars ive seen like that lowered and their camber has not been adjusted? or does it serve a purpose to have the camber like that?

 

Swap the right front tire to the left front. If the pulling stops or is now to the left it's the tire/rim. If the pull is still to the right, it's something with the car.

 

its always a good idea to go and align your wheels after a drop... its also a good idea to get the camber kit too if you dropped it low - (If your wheels fold inwards then you have negative camber) negative camber = wearing out inside of tires ALOT faster than normal = new tires in just a couple months

how agressive of a drop is it?

 

hehe

and the purpose negative camber serves is to remind everyone who drives behind the sucker with it that they forgot to go buy a camber kit and that their tires are gonna blow any second from that point

 

My car is lowered and it look like my tires are a little worn inside.. As a matter of fact i can see a little thread not metal though damn!

 

I have a friend that used now has a beater 240 which he uses for drifting. He used to autocross too. He keeps his 240 @ a negative camber on purpose cause I guess it helps for those kind of situations? (If anybody is into drifting).

He has special tires though that are made to be thicker on the inside than the outside I believe.

 

If you don't want to replace your whole set of tires. Get a tire place to flip them. If you ride like that for too long. You could blow 'em.

 

My car is dropped two inches on eibach springs.

 

I think any drop greater than 1.5 requires cambers. then again though, each car is different.

 

A negative camber allows for better traction in hard cornering. Camber, toe, and caster ALL serve a purpose on a high performance car.
