When I put 19's with the H&R drop, am I goin g to need a camber kit or would I be able to align it. The drop is only 1.3 in front and 1.2 in rear.

I can answer this one since I have those springs with 20's.

You can align the caster and toe within spec. The camber will be a little out of spec but not too bad. The G has a decent amount of negative camber stock.

But if you want to get away from wearing out the inside of your tires you will need a F&R camber kit.


SPC makes a great kit. But remember to weigh the price. It's just not worth it for the front kit IMO. You can get the rear arms and toe bolts for cheap but the front kits are at least $400-500. I drive ~15k a year and those miles are hard so I like some negative camber. I just swap the tires side/side once or twice over their lifetime.

No, the camber is affected by the suspension changes.

I know that suspension affects camber......but what i was saying is......is there more room to play with the camber to get it almost perfect?

no, 19's and 20's wont make a difference in the play with the camber toe. I'd suggest getting the SPC rear camber kit as Ttrank did previously. I'm dropped 1.7/1.3 on tein basics and i'll be getting the SPC kit shortly. It is not very expensive and is very easy to install.

I have about 1.4"/1.0" drop in front/rear after the h-techs settled and my front camber was -1.4 and rear was -1.1. The caster and toe were all right on oem.

The rear camber is adjustable to spec, but the fronts are not.

with -1.4/-1.1 you will still wear unevenly. It usually shows at about 20k in a 300AAA rated tire if you aren't a burnout happy monger.

like ttrank said, rotate your wheels correctly and it will minimize uneven wear.

I am going to get a front camber kit eventually, but right now I don't drive enough to warrant it =D

I am getting ready to buy the SPC front camber kit too. My fronts are out about -1.2 camber. Since I never installed a camber kit on my car, I would like to know if you have to remove the springs to install them. Looking at the pictures I would have to say No. Please let me know if I am correct.

no, you do not have to remove the front strut/spring assembly to install the front camber A-arms.
