No need for camber kit or anything

Mate, i beg to differ.
My SV6 got lowered on SL all rnd earlier in the year & the rear camber was out to buggery. VZ camber is non-adjustable, its a floating bush that is used in the rear control arm & is at a fixed position from the factory.

I beg to differ the begger to differer. I've had a ute with ssl on our wheel aligner that is digital and displays everything on screen and it was still in specs with factory specs for camber. Yes it will help regarding tyre wear, but still within the specs that Holden release for camber.

its all in proportion to who done the last wheel alignment. ive had lowered springs for a few years no camber kit and been running slightly off. Ipswich mechanical got the car and sorted the alignment, camber issues out and the car couldnt be driving truer and straighter.

I'm looking at getting my SV6 lowered an inch through pedders but I'm having one concern, I'm also getting some 245/35/19s really soon and I'm worried it's going to scrub on the front struts, the rubber is close to it as it is.

245/35/19 should be fine for clearance of the front struts, however I'm in the same boat for springs but am concerned about rear outer guard clearance, would most people with sl kings get the rears rolled?

I emailed pedders and they said they've had 235s rub on the rears as well as 245s.
