Hey guys I'm planning on purchasing some Varrstoen es 2.2.2 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 +0 offset. I am wondering if a 1.5" drop with these rims will cause a significant camber and require a camber kit. I don't want too much camber in hopes to avoid camber wear that will significantly decrease the life of my tires. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance guys

 

Regardless of wheels, you will need a camber kit.

 

Well a little camber would be nice, but would a 1.5" drop cause it to camber a lot? Thanks again.

 

If you want the camber then thats fine, but you will see uneven tire wear unless you like flipping the tires quite often. Personally, I like my camber to be less then -.5 so I got the kits. On a 1.2" drop with Tein S-Techs, my fronts were around -1 to -1.2 camber, that ate the tires rather quickly. My driving didn't help either.....

 

Oh dammm thanks for the info. I'm really not that knowledgeable about camber kits for our cars. I was just looking through some threads and people were talking about camber kits and camber arms. What is the difference and what would help retain it close to OE specs? I read that their aren't camber kits for the front or something. What brand of springs and camber kit/arms would be best to retain OE specs? Thanks

 

Or is a toe bolt sufficient? What is the difference with toe bolts, camber kit, and camber arm? Sorry for bombarding you with questions

 

You will need front camber kit (spc or spl recommended) and a rear camber kit with toe bolts (spc or ichiba recommended). Or you can let your tires fry, whatever you want.

 

Would I need toe bolts only for the rear? Or fronts as well? Is the "Camber kit" just the camber arm + toe bolts?

 

I don't know much about the different brands of camber kits but there are many that will work for the front and back. SPL and SPC kits have good positive camber adjustment, they are also the more expensive kits. If you get a camber kit, it doesn't matter which springs or coils you decide to get since you will most likely be able to get within specs. The kits are made up of a "D" shaped arm that is used for the front, looks very similar to the OEM arm instead the point at which the strut connects is adjustable. For the rear, its simply a slightly bent rod that can be adjusted.

I'm using the SPC's, I think my drop is around 1.5" in the front but I never measured. I was able to get -.2 and -.3 camber without using the hub spacers that are provided with the kits (revised only) which allows for more positive adjustment. I forget what the rears were but they were well within specs.

I've heard good things from many members about the SPL kit but I don't know much about it.

 

Alright, thanks for the informative response herrschaft. Are you using toe bolts as well? Is the camber kit simply just the camber arms plus the toe bolts? That's the part i'm confused about the most.

 

Rear is camber arms and toe bolt, you will need both to get your camber/toe both in spec/or however close you want.

 

Mine came with the Toe bolts.

The below thread has some info on it:

what about the front camber kit?

 

yes.........

 

Less than an inch is when it normally doesnt require one
