Quick Camber Question

[nathanVY]

Hey everyone, just quick question i'm unsure about.

I have lowered springs an Shocks ready to go for my VS (IRS), SL kings front and Lovells FE2 Rear.

Will I need to get the camber adjusted and a wheel alignment if I put these in? is that only if you go a lot lower?

[stocky]

You should be able to get away without a camber alignment

Beautiful. Exactly what I wanted to hear lol.

ive got FE2 in my SS (ex BT-1) and it was chewing out the inner edges on the rears something shocking so ive just had a camber kit fitted in mine. $350 it cost fitted with wheel alignment.

what model/year is yours? does camber only affect the rear tyres? I might just put the springs/shocks in then go get a tyre place to take a quick look at it.

where did you get your camber kit fitted? 2pt or 4pt? What brand? Any recommendations for places to fit?

It only affects the rear tyres on cars with IRS. My Berlina has supers and IRS, but I haven't had much of an issue with camber wear. FE2 at the rear, supers at the front ey? Back's gonna sit really high in comparison to the front, you shouldn't have too many issues with camber wear if you drive sensibly.

Ok cool. yeah FE2 is written on the springs but they look lower to me. I got em second hand for bugger all, so see how we go. Gotta be better than standard height though lol.

define sensible driving haha

96 SS 5LTR yes it only effects the rear of models with IRS, got a 4 point kit Nolathane kit fitted. I know the owner of the local tyre joint so got it done there, supplied fitted and wheel alignment $350

Fe2 shouldn't need a camber kit, or did they come factory with one?
Or just came from factory chewing inside tyres out?

I didn't have much camber wear with the super lows I had inthe rear. I hardly ever do skids or anything.
And I haven't had my bags long enough to see how bad the camber is, plus I drive with them pretty high most or the time so yeah.

thanks for the opinions guys, gonna get a mate to help me put em in. will probably be replacing the rears with SSLs and getting a camber kit then when I can afford it.
