1" and you'll be under 2 degrees of negative camber. Anything over 2 degrees and you'll be significantly reducing your tire life. I think 1 to 1.5 degree of negative camber is the best as a little negative camber can slightly improve your handling characterisitics.

It's because there is no more adjustment. You may have camber issues after lowering your G, just something to think about.

I have Nismo Type S Suspension on mine, and had a alignment done to it afterwards... tracks straight as an arrow...

By the way I also had the Stillen rear camber kit put on also....

lowered with Eibachs.

got it back to about 99% spec. No pulling at all. Can drive 100mph on the 73S in Newport and can take my hands off the wheel with no issue.... Not that I make a regular habit of this, or for any duration of time...

after lowering, i got my alignment, and the two front wheels cannot be set to the same spec on my car. there is a tad bit of pulling due to this. i dont want to shell out for the camber kit either, so i just live with it. its not that bad.

Hey SoCalTed!

Sweet ride!!! I, too, would like my 05 6MT sedan lowered. Which shop do you go to to get your stuff installed? Or do you do most of 'em yourself?

Someday, I'd like my ride to look similar to yours! NICE!
