Im going to be installing BC racing coilovers on my '06 gcoupe. Just wondering at which point are camber kits a must. I'll only be lowering my car to get rid of the wheel gap and keep it flush, no lower than that.

 

you will need rears for sure and fronts likely

 

lowering to go flush is pretty low. Sounds like you'll be camber kitting it on all 4 corners.

 

I'm on BC coilovers and you'll definitely need a camber/toe kit for the rear. As for the front, the top of my tire is sitting just even with the fender and my camber is out of spec, but toe is not. I think I'm at about -2.5 degrees on each side, but I'm just going to go with that for now and live with a little extra tire wear.

 

how much is the drop to cancel the wheel gap completely?

 

def. camber all the way around in order to get back into spec.

 

Tire are designed to function best when camber is maintained +- 0.5 degrees under straight ahead and braking conditions.
Camber gain/loss curves are what counts, how much camber changes per inch of body roll and how each individual tire brand/size reacts to changes in load from weight transfer.........creating changes in shape and area of contact patch.

Remember static alignment is a worthless condition as most times the vehicle is rolling and changing state, swaying, dipping,etc.

 

Since I guess i'll be needing a camber kit on all fours..whats the best route to go with that aren't a s**t load of money?

 

SPC rears are great, also look into Ichiba I believe that is exactly the same as spc but it wouldn't hurt to do a quick search to double check. Ichibas are a bit cheaper than SPCs.

Front's if you aren't dropped a lot SPC with shims would work but SPL or 350evo are the best.

 

If i dont put camber kits on the front..does anyone know how much camber can be realigned? If its like +/- 1 its not that bad

 

^i think if your in the +/-1 your still in spec with oem

 

Does anyone know what the specs are after lowering and alignment for the front without using a camber kit?
