Camber Correction
Hey guys,
I see that alot of you all are running different suspension set ups to include struts/springs or even coilover sleeves. I have run both style of set ups in the past and totally understand the importance of proper caster/camber/toe. Just curious what you guys are doing for camber correction when running say, aftermarket struts/springs. I know that with alot of coil over set ups you get camber plates. Are you guys running camber bolts? Can the car tolerate a 1.5-2" drop with out them?

I haven't installed my lowering springs yet, but I accidentally ordered twice as many camber bolts as I'll need. If you decide that you want a set of 4 let me know.

Most people either run camber bolts, or adjust within factory specs. I have never had any problem getting back to factory specs with a 2" or less drop on a Hyundai without using camber bolts. The holes where the lower strut mounts are slightly oversized allowing for some adjustment.

I guess the nego camber that you do get with a 2" drop is mild enough not to worry about. Plus it can't hurt the handling, and looks hella kdm tyte as a bonus. Unless you get an obscene amount of camber from your lowering, I wouldn't be worrying too much about it.
I'm watching this thread with interest.

There's a 'slammed' Accord parked near my apartment usually. I'll post a picture. It's an example of camber that SHOULD have been corrected and wasn't.
