camber question
hey guy i will be dropping my car soon on tien SS. just wondering if ill need a camber kit for the front if i drop to about one finger gap all around. i bought a front camber kit last year its ingalls 35590, which is only good for about -1.5 - +1.5. ive also heard that we dont need a camber kit for the front sometimes. the bottem line is i just dont want to go through tires every 6 months. thanks in advance for the help

hahah I think just the opposite!
I am running 2 finger gap 01TL on 18/40s- about 1.5 to 1.75 inch drop
My camber reads neg 1.1 and neg 1.4 and no kits
Zero is stock reading neg 1 is good for cornering.
Any lower,, and I personally would put in kits- especially if you have them in hand already- the part you have will work fine and keep tire wear good
The rear is often in greater need of kit- and easy to install

I don't have a camber kit and I'm dropped on SS'. The rear is where you would need it most unless you slam it to the ground. Check the sig below on the specs, but for a 1-finger gap, I doubt you'd need a kit. My rear is just barely within spec and have been for months now - now abnormal wear on the rears at all that I have been able to tell.

Fire- what are the actual readings on camber for your car, or are you just guessing that the tires look good?

Going from memory here, but I'm at -1.4 and -1.5ish - was -1.7 but I raised that corner a thread or 2 and dropped the corresponding corner on the front a thread or so to make up the difference when I did the final "fine-tune." Am actually thinking about dropping a tiny bit more this summer and will def get the rear kit - possibly the front if necessary, but I am waiting to buy new rims before all this happens.
No guessing about the tires - I've driven nearly 8,000 miles since the drop (in January) and tires are good - no abnormal wear.
Are you experiencing any "camber wear?"
