    The rear of the VY has some adjustment, but it may not be enough. Lower it first, then see if you need a kit.

    Most people will recommend getting a camber kit when lowering.

    There is no camber adjustment at all in the rear of a VY, only toe. Lower it then get it measured and see what it comes out at.

    On the topic of camber kits, I read somewhere that you need to check or adjust diff float after lowering and adding a camber kit. If not you can damage the diff. Can anyone shed some light on this?
    Car theives should be treated just like horse theives and cattle rustlers in the days of the wild west... Hang them!


    Don't be stupid. Power isn't measured by the size of your tacho

    I know, but it is the toe that changes as well and pulls the wheel out as you drive, making it look like the camber is worse than it is. As I said, lower it first then determine whether you need a kit. Most times you will.
