I going to drop my car soon. I would like to know, whats the lowest i can drop my car without needing a camber kit. And whats the best springs to get. Thanks.....

 

From what i have heard on the cl boards the pro kit seems to be the lowest you can drop your car w/o camber kits. The drop on the pro kits is about an inch and a half.

 

I have the comptechs and it lowered the front 1.5 and the back 1. i like it its a good drop. I know the eibach sportlines youll need a camber for it. Pro kit is prob a way to go or HR

 

i have the eibach pro-kit on my 1st gen TL and i needed to get a camber kit. every car is different and will respond differently to the lowering and stress. so you can't really say whether a certain drop will or will not require you to get a camber kit.

 

well, i want a 1.75 in the front and 1.5 in the back. what do you think??

 

I would say you would want eibach sportlines and a camber kit but thats just me.

 

Just go with Comptechs..

Thanks alot guys.....

 

go with h&r springs...have them on my 02tl and they are 1.75 in front and 1.5 in rear...no bounce at all and no camber kit needed...perfectly lowered

 

i want a 1.75 drop front and 1.5 in the back. some people say i will need and camber kit and some say i dont?? i'm confused here. does it depend on each car??

 

I would like to know also since I ordered my srpings with that same drop target(1.75 front & 1.5 rear). From what I understand and from what I have been told from several specialist is that no I wont be needing a camber kit. Im getting the Eibachs...

 

comptech probably your best bet

 

i agree comptech would probably be the best

 

i think 1.5 will put you in the need for a camber kit

 

after u get any of the springs..and install.....get alignment..and print out...they will tell u if u need it or not..

Hey since were both in Houston, if you want you can take a look at my car and see if its low enough for you. I have the comptech springs on and Im pretty sure its about settled in. Let me know!

 

Yea! that sound koo.... what area are you in? stay up north on west road. maybe i can give call and meet you up or i'll just look at it at the show.. thanks

 

My car is actually going into the shop tomorrow but should be out by fri, latest sat so if u want to see it then thats cool. Just email me at Chinaman38@aol.com and let me know. It'll also be at the show. I stay in the galleria area.

 

i think i've seen ur car before at the sw acura dealer awhile back. but i wasnt paying attenion to the drop. Well i think its best that i just look at it at the show, so we dont have to make time metting up. thanks alot for the offer. I'll just ask matt who you are if he's there. i'm pretty good friend's with him. We went to hastings together.

 

From what I've been told by a mod shop, a camber kit is a total waste of money. What's important after lowering your car is that you get a wheel alignment done (wait about 1 week for the springs to settle). Wheel alignment is done so that your tires don't wear out unevenly. Hope this helps.

 

i disagree with the camber kit being a waste of money. i mean for the price of one tire which is about how much the parts and install cost, you're saving big bucks on replacing all your tires prematurely. i had an alignment done right after i dropped my car and it said everything was fine, but after a few months, there was an obvious uneven wear. i just wanna reiterate the fact that you never know how your car is going to respond to stress and that camber kits are not a waste of money

 

It sure will help.. i didnt wanna waste money on a camber kit thats why didnt want to have a drop that needs it. i have heard from both side, some say will need it and some say i dont. i guess i'll have to find out for myself

 

Thats cool wigginboy......sorry not good with the names. Im sure youll notice me......just look for the really tall asian guy. ill be there around 2-2:30

 

im telling you...im not guessing...if you go 1.5 rear you WILL need it...only if you dont like the inside bead of your tire turning to exposed stell belts after about 10K miles or less...now if you like that then no you wont need a kit...comptech or H&R o.e are the only two that you can get by with little to no problems H&R sport and prokit s you'll have premature wear around 10 k or so...the H&R race and the sportlines if you get 5k i'd be suprised...comps on a tl are probablly the best bet for a definte lowered but not slammed look
