Default coilover question

I've held off on lowering springs because at the time I didn't want to deal with camber/toe problems and I'm happy I did because now I'm leaning towards coilovers (specifically BC racing). I'm just unsure if you can expect the same camber/toe headaches using coilovers that you would get using just springs. If so, can anyone recommend a decent, affordable camber kit and anything else I'd need to make sure I'd be able to get near factory specs without any problems? Thanks.

hey man,it was nice meeting you yesterday @ the cruise..

to answer your question...

as soon as you lower your car you will need a camber kit to get your alignment back to or close to factory specs... but the biggest factor would be how low you set it... the lower you go the more definite you will need a camber kit.

use the SPC rear camber kit to fix the rear its sub $200 for the rear set so its not bad... as far as the front camber is concerned... you wont really need one unless you go i say past 1.75" of a drop on either springs or coilovers... best deal would be CUSCO a arms from adam@z1

hope that helps

Thanks a lot man. I figured I'd need one so I've been checking out the vendor deals and the SPC stuff looks good and there are some good prices like you said. I'll check out the cucso a arms too. But before I buy anything though I gotta decide on buying these coilovers or save the money and put it towards a nice set of volks, either gold or mag blue

i am not positive on this but if you search the threads about the BC Racing coilovers you will find a deal from Z1 that includes the SPC adjusters for a great price.
