safe to drop car 1-2 inch without camber kit?

[nostringz]

i want to drop my car but i dont want to buy a camber kit, so would 1-2 inch be okay?

Ya, you will notice a little tire wear....but not too bad with a "sport" drop. If you were running a race drop, I'd suggest something.

Make sure you get an alignment though, that'll kill tires as well....

Are you using stock struts? My drop is 2.25 on stockers and its slowly goin out on me negative camber wear is a bitich but yea. 1-2 shouldnt be that bad.

I know one guy who for some strange reason, has 0 Camber with a 4" Drop... and it is all stock suspension parts (Besides the Coilovers).

yeah the main thing im worried about is tire wear... so i guess i shouldnt lower my car without a camber kit

Shouldnt be bad but anyway if you lower the car you will have to deal with some negative camber wear anyway. 1-2 should be fine.

I am using Tein H-tech springs with Tokico HP (blue) shock abosorbers. So I am dropped abour 2" in the front and 1.5in the back. No problem with tire wear...just get a alighnment and rotate your tires every second oil change....u r good to go

It's up to you about the kit but I'd say lower it and def. get the toe corrected right away.

ya i just got an alignment like last week... i guess im waiting for a second oil change to get the coilovers. so no need for camber kit for a short drop?

on that note ... im planning on dropping my cb on h&r's my alignment isnt the best at the moment (city driving, crazy pot holes + street car tracks).... i was speaking to a mechanic and told me alot of shops plus himself dont do alignments on lowered cars .... should i have my alignment done before or after i drop it? ... does it make a diffreance if i do it before?

Go to a Performance shop and they will do alignments on cars with lowered suspension. Those other shops just align vans and family sedans and don't want to bother with anything else.

Get an alignment with the suspension install...then do another alignment in about two months, when the springs settle.
