    Default camber angle?

    is there a way to put camber onto the front and rear wheels?

    or do i have to buy a camber kit?

    To tell you the truth i'm not entirely sure a camber kit alone will get what you want to acheive...
    I had always thought that when getting your car lowered professionally this camber angle was automatically obtained because of the parts themselves producing such an effect...
    I would probably hit up a suspension specialist and grill them for answers as this is probably the only way to get a 100% correct answer..
    good luck with it!

    Camber can be done on the fronts by moving the strut bolts, usually with a wheel alignment, for the rears you need to have an IRS setup, & then lowering your car will give you some camber, otherwise your looking at a camber kit (outside) & toe kit (inside).

    Why do you want camber? drift setup?

    Best bet is to go chat with a suspension guy, tell him what you want to achieve & Im sure he can help you dial up some numbers to suit.

    The standard front strut tops are adjustable a bit if you want to go further than that you need more adjustable strut tops. Standard IRS in the rear is about 2 degrees camber but I'm guessing you have live axel anyway. Anyway the local suspension shop will set it up for performance or easy driving whatever you ask for. It makes more difference to the way the car drives and handles than anything else so it's worth having right

    Go buy yourself a set of nolothane adjustable strut tops. Dial in around 1 deg neg camber and a little pos caster.
