1) where did you hear this?Originally posted by dan21
2) if you go down 1", you'll probably be out of specs as far as camber settings go
3) what is OK isn't always what is best......you can live without an alignment in a lot of situations, but the worse the alignment, the less miles you'll get out of your tires......
i'd get a camber kit (maybe $120 for both sides, adjustable ball joints) and do it right......that way, you get optimal tire wear, the best handling and it's not a big deal......if you do it half ass, you'll get half ass results
i did alignments for a few years and learned from the best......it's one of those things that you simply can't half ass....it's either right or it's 100% wrong..........and on the 7th day, deevergote rested and called his mom.Comment

I had a 1.8" drop and 7.5" wide wheels. Camber wear in the front and back was noticable. My camber kit broke, and I went back to stock without an alignment... My tires were gone in 2 months.
With your drop, if you have stock-width wheels, a proper alignment would probably keep your tires from wearing out TOO fast... but the effects of negative camber will still be evident. Supposedly, Nitto Neo Gen tires are made for negative camber, and don't wear as quickly (I'm currently running a similar drop, and I'm going to try a set myself...)
Fizz is right. Get a camber kit (ball joint ones still don't seem good to me... but people are using them without issues...) Get properly aligned. Don't mess with it. Many normal shops may not be used to aligning cars with camber kits... you might want to make sure they're comfortable with your equipment. If they aren't find someone who is.

im getting the car aligned but do you need the camber kit?Cali.Dumps.Harder.Comment

depends, i was stock height and my camber was off 1 degree...lowerd it 1.2 inches and it was off 1.5 degrees.Originally posted by dan21
you have to check your alignment when you drop it to tell you if you need it or not.What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.
You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!
