Default camber kit question...

many of you have springs and coilovers yet I don't think you guys are having camber issues...do you guys have camber kits or is aftermarket camber kit not necessary when lowering the s2k?

some might say it all depends on how low you would go..i dont know how low because i dont have the car yet, but i probabaly want to tuck the wheels if not 1 finger gap. thanks for any inputs.

The 'S' comes stock w/ a camber kit, but it has it's limitations on how low go w/out having issues going out of stock alighnment specs. I'm using Kg/mm race springs on stock shocks with stock alighnment settings. (lil more than 1 finger gap) The fronts came w/in spec, but the rears barely made it

If you get your car lowered, you DEFINITELY need to get an alignment job done. Not only does lowering the car effect the camber, but it also seriously effects your toe setting. When dropping the car, it's like you just suddenly gave yourself permanent bump steer. If the toe changes enough, it can be brutal on tire wear. After lowering my S000 1.375", I saw my toe jump to -0.35 degrees on each front wheel and -0.45 degrees on each rear wheel. I took it to a shop and had it re-aligned to the UK specs of 0 degrees and -0.20 degrees.

my question is...if i wanted to go lower then most springs...say with a coilover, are there any camber kits available for the s2ks?

do we have members on here with coilovers and low enough drop to have their alignments off? to the point where they need an aftermarket camber kits?

i have a TL with tein SS coilovers and i have to get an aftermarket camber kits for front/ back so I ask on the s2k...it should be the same with s2ks, but i dont see anyone discussing about it...so im having hard time searching for the right answers...

ofcourse an alignment should be made after any drop or messing around with suspensions, but what if stock camber kits can't adjust to my height with coilovers?

help please?
