I just got my caMBER kit in fed ex today....tomorrow i will be installing it myself then str8 to the alignment shop....Now i need to know what are good camber specs for me to tell them to put. i hear -2.5 F and 1.5 R with as much as 0 toe. my car is a 03 dc5-s wit tien basics lowered abour 2.75 F 2.0 R wit 205 50 r16 tires....and whats also a good tire psi to run on aswell!?............basically i want my car to drive good (have tires last a decent amount of time) and be able to handle aggressive driving...

well im probably going to bring it up to about 2.25" in the front...i always liked the aggressive look of a lowered car but i can see its not a good thing. so 2.25F and 2.0R thats not all that bad right?.......

Yea this thead doesnt even warrant an answer from me.

Buy the right sized tires then maybe we can tell you about alignment specs.

Negative camber front and positive in the rear did you smoke something this morning?

you know what i mean -2.0****** happy now?

Buy the right size tires then do an alignment. Not only is your wheel speed off by -3%. But if your trying to get a 3in drop or even a 2.5in drop and expect to get good handling its not going to happen.

Just do -1camber all around since at that height your more then likely will be tucking.

well im going to adjust the height today....like i said maybe 2.25F and 2.0R that sounds better.......and another question what do you think ab out H-braces? do they make a big difference or do they stiffen up the car tooo much?

well i just installed my rear camber kit...and raised my car to about 2.0F 1.8R .....and i went for an alignment and they wanted about 120 to do the whole alignment is that a good price? and by my tires being undersized.....whats the proper tire size i should go with? bcuz from factory is 205 55 r16 thats not really a drastic difference

Its not supposed to be a drastic difference. You can go 205/55 or 225/50 but your gonna have sidewall flex like no other. Buy a nice stiff 205/55 and you'll be surprised the difference in handling tires alone make.

I finally bought a decent pair of summer tires (Kumho SPT) i had all seasons for a while since it snows a lot here. Well the car handles better with my SPT then when i had my N+ coilovers installed.
