    Question Question about Suspension

    I've recently purchased a set of peddars lowered suspension (springs no shocks) and am looking to add them to my VT Com.
    If I am to go from standard stock coils to lowered do i need to get the camber readjusted? also is their anything else i need to get looked at whether it be lower profile tries or the wheel alignment, or shocks ?

    It depends on how low you are going to weather you need shorter shocks as well.
    And yes, you will need a wheel allignment.

    for ride comfort get some lowered shocks to suit your springs, if you have no spine then have stock shocks lol.

    yes you need a wheel alignment.

    and with a camber kit, it will not fix camber wear, it will help tho. with camber wear your tyres will just wear out quicker and un-even, so costing money either way in the long run when you lower your car.

    if you want a better camber on your car, you can always look into a vy/vz cradle, for your rear end.
