Spring / Camber ?

Do all springs need the camber kit? Take the H&R Sport Spring for example, a 1.75 drop front & back. Looking for an even drop. I like the raked look, but this TL is no race car. Luxury sport sedan with serious get gone is what I'm after.

I just went from my CT springs BACK to stock .. i did NOT like what the springs did to the ride in terms of how it handles the rougher roads... if you're only gunna be driving highway or on smooth suburban roads.. the H&R's or the CT's will be great.. you will probably want to get a camber kit for the CT's and DEFINITELY for the H&R's .. otherwise there will be too much negative cast...

Thanks Peter, I certainly don't want a wash board ride by any means. I was sorry to read you didn't like what they did for you. What size tire are you running? I was not going to go anything larger than 18" in order to keep a tire with more than 1" of sidewall to help with that ride comfort. Would that help or is that just wishful thinking?

I have the sport springs and no kit.

my camber is fine but i do have a small amount of toe but not to be a problem. Just make sure you get an alignment after a week or so.

H&R sports springs + OEM kit + stock rims= 6in clearance
no camber probs

I had them for about 2 years and the ride is not bad at all.
As for the look, very hot much better than CTs.
