I have more or less a 3 inch drop and for me the rear camber is off by about 1.5 degrees but I have yet to see any uneven wear in the tires. Unfortunatly, I cannot say the same about the front the camber is bad I wear tire like crazy. Tires last me no more than 2 months untill I have to flip them so in total tires last me about 4 months. But I think with a 2 inch drop you should be OK

I would definitely recommend an alignment and a camber kit after lowering. I believe Ingalls makes a camber kit.

As for pulleys, they are a waste of money to me. Some members have experienced power drain and electrical problems and very minimal or no gain in hp. Other members haven't had any problems with the pulleys at all but still experienced little gain.

I heard that the INGALLS camber kit does not fit properly it rubs with somthing in the inner fender well thus causing the car to ride like sh*t

I think the only other company that makes a kit is SPECIALTY PRODUCTS COMPANY

The Eibach Pro kit, or anyother springs CANNOT fit into the Ground Control sleeves. As you'll notice coilover sleeves (i.e ground control, skunk2), they are very short springs, and on each end..they are FLAT, so they can sit perfectly on the sleeves. And if you look at replacement springs, they are not flat at each ends. So it can't sit on coilover sleeves, which we're never meant to be used this way.

Actually GC uses eibach springs I believe, but anyway I assume the springs with the coilovers are specially fitted and you can't just swap them.

Okay well, from what I remember when I was installing my Pro Kits, the top and bottom of the springs are not flat. if you got it off a member here that actually had the pro kits on the gc sleeves on the car...then umm...heh....no comment.

When you lower your car, just look to see if the tires stick in alot..if it does...you need camber. simple as that. Most likely you'll need a camber for the rear. Ingalls, Specialty Products...prices I don't know..go ask your local speed shop.

I think Ingalls runs something like $120.
