lowering 2.5inches
 

Alrite well i stopped by a couple of shops today to check out how much it will be to lower my car. It came out to much more than I expected. More than I was willing to spend, somewhere around $1100. Reason why its so expensive was cause of that frekin Camber kit. $500 for a full kit.

Anyone know a cheaper place to buy camber kits or any shops around that will do the whole lowering job for a cheaper price if I buy the lowering springs and cambrid kit of them.

I was willing to spend $600 but $1100 is a little over my limit for a car that im gonna sell in 2 years.

i got my camber kit used for $140 on here

What kind of springs?
What kind of camber kit?
What shop?

Springs should be no more then $300 and as for a camber kit, I'd shop around. The rear kits are pretty cheap.

2.5 inches in winter? hahaha... that's a pretty nice drop

Hey gotta do it sometime. Can't wait for the summer.

springs: new, anywhere from $250 - $350. and from my experience i wouldn't go any lower than 1.75f 1.5r... do some searches here to see what i mean.

camber kit: if you don't drop it TOO much, i.e. less than 1.5", you should be ok without one. if more, than ya, u need a kit. i found an ingalls camber kit on ebay for $300 cdn shipped, then another $100 or so to install.

ultimately my suggestion is h&r sport springs with stock shocks which should last you a while. for this setup you shouldn't expect to spend more than $450 - $500.

Buy the springs and the kits on TCC used. Save you money. You don't need to buy new ones since you are gonna let go the car in a couple years and seems like performance isn't what you are after, but mostly for looks.

There are always people selling lowering springs, H&R, Tein bleh bleh bleh.

tein are good stuff indeed, not that bad.... haha

well, if you're just going for looks and don't care if it has performance or what brand it is.... u can always find some cheesy ones on ebay for cheap and it'll last u for 2 years...

No one mentioned the washer trick to fix rear camber?
Also iam running on 1.8 springs without a camber kit, and i dont have it that bad at all.

Thanks a bunch for the advice. I'm gonna do my little search and find out why i should not go anywhere lower than 1.5.

BTW, Ebay site is great. tons of more cheaper stuff on there.

you can go lower then 1.5", people just say you need a camber kit doing so. i used to have my nuespeed race springs with no camber kit and no noticable camber wear either :thumbup:

simply put:

go lower than 1.5" and the ride quality suffers. suspension travel is non-existent. and yes u can do anything you want without a camber kit... but don't kid yourself you've got SERIOUS NEGATIVE CAMBER if you drop more than 1.5" without a camber kit.

Driving with negative camber can cause other problems... like screwing up your wheels bearings.

That shop you went to is trying to rip you off regarding the camber kit. I got my SPC camber kit for all 4 corners, and it cost me just a hair over 200 bucks.

What shop? I'm looking for a full camber kit.

Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought the shop was trying to sell you a camber kit for that price. Regardless, $500 dollars is waaaaay too much for a camber kit.
