I've been searching around on this setup for tire wear and camber kits.

There are differences in opinion. Some say they need camber kits/bolts and others say no.

How are your tires wearing? Do you or did you install any type of camber adjustment kit/bolt?

How many miles on your current suspension setup?

I have a 99.

Thanks in advance.

 

The H&R drop does not require camber correction.

Have your alignment set and your tires will ware normally.

 

thanks for the reply. That's what I though. But after reading 7 pages of post I started to get confused because of the difference in opinon.

 

I would say the necessity of the camber bolts depends on how well matched from the factory the camber is between the left and right side.

Factory specs are quite wide on the camber angle.

The factory spec is +0.50 degrees to -1.00 degrees camber -- at least as per my 1995 Factory service manual.

In my experience, running the negative camber higher than -0.50 degrees has caused faster inside tire wear. There are many variables to consider which include the following:

1. Toe angle (Some people like to run a little "toe-out" on the alignment to help with steering response. Of course; this creates more friction between the tread and the road, and especially on the inside edge when running a lot of negative camber.)
2. Overall stiffness of suspension. (A firm suspension puts more load on the tires in the turns and under braking, and specifically on the inside edge when running a lot of camber)
3. Firmness of tire sidewall. (A firm sidewall can focus more weight onto the edge of a tire if the negative camber is too high.)

 

i got a camber kit of tirerack.com for my max. camber kit helps it alot. you could allign the wheels. i tried cornering without the kit and with it and there was a huge difference.
