H&R sport springs question

i want to put on the H&R sport springs, but i'm not to sure about what i esle i would need to do.......i've pmed a few members and bascially got the same answer.......i'm planning on getting a set of KBY AGX adjustable shocks to go with the springs.......but i have no idea how much this drop will affect camber.......so i want to know what you guys have used H&R sport springs have done, and how the ride is after the spring + shocks have been changed

When I bought my TL, it was already dropped by .5 I took the car in few days ago for tire, the tech said, I need cambers because there is wear on the inside of the tire.

Now, I am looking to get some cambers.

When you drop you car, make sure you know you are doing, or else, you have few extra parts to fix some of the new problems.

Good luck

I've heard alot of people say that the ride is like oem but some will argue that. Im planning to drop my tl on H&R sports im not sure if it will affect camber though

I have H&R sports and I have no camber issues. I'm still riding on stock shocks at 42k miles and it's a good ride. stiff but close to oem. planning on getting koni yellows later on.

Ever car is different. Most with H&Rs didnt have to get a camber kit. The only way you will know is to install them wait a week or to fro teh shocks and springs to settle and then get an alignment. Once thats performed it will tell you the specs and whether or not you need a camber kit

With half a inch drop, i dont think so. Maybe an alignment for toe.

All I have done is get an allignment with my H&R sport springs and everything rides fine. Just remember to rotate your tires and you should be fine.
