How low can I go with out camber kit?

All,

I have a 02 TLS with 04 stock rims. I was wondering how low I can go without having to get a camber kit. The reason I want to do this is because with the 04 rims, it looks slightly funny with the 235/24/27 tires. I don't want to do camber work because I have had them before on other cars and had to get camber work done a lot.

I already did a search but couldn't find much. Any help ahead of time will be great.

Thanks a bunch.

without camber kit you could probably fit 523/98/12 no prob. any smaller and you might have to roll fenders/cut tabs.

O3aspec,

How do you like the ride on with HR springs? I was thinking about the HR OE springs but its a .75 and .5 inch drop, that might not even be noticeable.

i had the 04-05 tl wheels on my ride.

used the eibach pro kit springs. 2.1 Front and 1.6 Rear

the tires i was using was the ones that came stock with the 04-05 TL.

rubbing? no issue at all.

the camber on the rear looks real real slight neg. but not toooo bad.

just fkn w/ you yo.

with air suspension you can go as low as you want w/out camber kit at all....

other than that it seems the norm around here is if youre going lower than a standard sport drop (1.3-2.0") youre ognna need camber kit.....

in general. (personally i have air so not too sure...)
