Inch drop and negative camber
For those that have done just an inch drop what are you seeing without doing the front arms for negative camber? I have done both adjustable radius and toe arms in the rear and need to drop this thing as the new wheels make it look tarded! Just wondering if an inch in the front can be compensated for or if I need to do arms. Spent the last two weeks replacing every arm front and back. Unreal at 132k the entire suspension was totally shot. Drives like a new car but hating the new wheels and tires. I think dripping it would make me happy.

Crazy there is no camber adjustment. Wasn't sure if just an inch would cause it to go out based on the design how much compensation the arms would make up. I'm use to European cars and have never seen a car like this without any camber adjustment. Only other car I know with as many control arms us Audi and they still provide some camber.

No matter what shop you take it too no camber adjustment can be made in the front if you are stock a-arms...... I think I read that you get about .8 degrees negative for every inch you drop... Don't quote me on it... Toe alignment is very important but any one that knows how to correctly use an alignment machine should be able to set your toe in spec upfront

I have a buddy now who said that you can bring the toe in on these cars and it does push the camber out. I'm still going to buy arms but thought that was interesting. I've done some similar things with Porsches but we have lots of adjustment from the factory. Guess I need to buy springs and some arms.
