Cobb Tuning Springs
Alright, so I'm planning on buying Cobb Tuning springs and Hotchkis sways for my mods. Question is, I'm really questioning the fact on the idea of getting a camber kit along. Some people say they HAD to but others said using the stock ones are fine. I am very concerned about this due to the fact that I really don't want to spend on nearly a K just on the Cambers and then the toe rods because of the drop that comes with the springs. So any of you guys that are sporting the Cobb Tuning springs right now, can you please give your inputs if buying the extra suspension parts are neccesary or not? Thanks!

its been asked/answered a ton of times with a ton of springs
the long and short of it is that some cars will require an aftermarket camber kit as soon as they are lowered any amount, while other cars can handle about an inch drop before going out of spec. This is because the cars dont come with 1 preset alignment from the factory. The primary advantage of the aftermarket kit is in its substantially increased range of adjustment vs stock. This ensures that you can dial in the left and right side to be dead even with one another

if you drive fairly hard. -1.5 camber will be in your benefit.
slap the springs, sways on...drive for a week or so, then get an alignment...see where its at. go from there.
I love the $$ the toe bolts cost. When I was aligning cars, similar bolts were used on Chevy P/u's of the era...they were like 20 bucks....but since this is a "performance car" they are worth much more! apparently.
