Are cambers needed?

I'm hearing that yes and no that camber arms are going to be needed. I am getting the hp tokiko and eibach pro kit1.1/1.1 drop. What's the definite answer? Lol also my tires are axis penta 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 245/40/19 all around

I recommend the rears, there shouldnt be any reason for the fronts.

If your tires are getting eaten up in the front maybe your alignment is off? Really depends on the car and the situation though if you need front camber arms.

I'm running 20x8.5 in front, lowered on coils, and my tires are pretty good, and I have some negative camber too in front.

But thats another good question though lol.

How lowered in the front do you have to be or what kind of spec rims would you run in order for front camber arms to be necessary?

At least get rear toe bolts if you were not planning to already.

Is your car AWD or just RWD?

Did you get the kit for the Sedan, Coupe, or 350Z?

1" of lowering is based off stock height, and each model has a different stock height. ie. if you got the 1" drop kit for the 350Z, and you drive a AWD, then you'd actually be lowering your car almost 2.5-3"

Common belief here is that if you drop more than an inch you'll need camber arms and toe bolts. I would recommend them with any drop as they will be cheaper than buying new tires every year.

When I first dropped my car it was on sedan H Techs which is less than an inch and I ate through my front tires like crazy. I'm starting to think it's a car-by-car situation for some crazy reason. Picture you made a wise decision.
