lower front 1" allignment (camber question)

For those people that dropped the car with 20"s.

Is a front camber kit (A arm) needed to get the allignment back in spec?

I'm just dropping the front 1.5".

I don't know If I have to spend that extra $280 just for a 1.5" drop.

I love how the word just is used so softly in " I'm just dropping the front 1.5". "

Only 1.5" with 20' !!!

I love it!

Are you only lowering the front? That's going to look like a stink-bug man.

Re: lower front 1" allignment (camber question)

I posted specs on my car so much I didn't want to bore anyone again with the details.

The 20's raised the car 3/4inch in front and 1/2in in the rear.

So I just want to get the car at a little bit under stock height.

I'm going to do 1.5 in front and 1in. in the rear. The rear You can't drop too much with 295 wide tires, the lip is going to rub like a MF. The wheels messed up the rake so the 1.5 and 1 will compensate that. Plus the car will look a little nicer with a mild rake in front.

LOL I said "1.5" non-chalantly because if you saw my civic or my wife's eclipse you would wonder how we got up and down curbs.
