That totally depends on how much you plan on dropping and the size of your wheels.. It's not an automatic purchase if you just get coils.. I don't have a camber kit and I have 20x11 in the rear and have maxed out my rear shocks on how low they'll go.. Camber kits only help you regain spec camber adjustments so that you can have more contact patch on the ground.. If you don't go low enough to need that, then you don't need to buy camber kits..

Hope this helps.

my wheels are 19x8.5 offset 18 rears are 19x10.5 offset 25, um planning to drop about 1.5 in the front maybe 1 inch in the back, i dont know if those numbers are good, i remember twalls you told me to do true style which is what im going for...but yeah just sometimes i get paranoid hearing stories about tire wear and all this...

I just swapped out my MDU to BC racing coils and damn, bc coils make the car a different animal!

No hate on the MDU though bc it was def. a bang for the buck mod! It def got the job done but it wasnt really made for aggressive driving honestly. MDU coils are made for looks!

Awesome coils for the price!

As well you should be... It really depends on you and where you decide to let the car settle.. I'd recommend after about 10 days after getting the coils installed, you get an alignment.. Don't do it before, because your coils won't be fully settled.. When you get the alignment, they'll let you know whether they're able to get your camber back to stock specs or not.. If they can't, you need camber kits.. if they can, you don't.. it's that simple.

Honestly i think there's been a change in the production process...these variants aren't going half as low as they used to or have been...i project many people selling them after purchase, there's already a set on sale on my350

And here's another Z & G on previous releases




Something's not right...oh and the dampening sucks lol but they are pretty comfortable. I'd say for the sedan they can still go as low as you want
