[Ripcell]

ive got a mate who put ultra lows in his car and took out his super lows, what im wanting to find out is will i need a camber kit if i grab his old springs, their only a week old, if i dont need a camber kit ill chuck em in my car.

thanks all

yer u do but give it a go without.. u might not get inner wear..

 

[Ripcell]

if i do, how much is a camber kit worth?

is the inner wear that bad on super lows?

$400 odd bucks, i had to do mine 'cause it destroyed two of my brand new tyres.
Make sure you keep a good eye on it when you put them on.

yeah when you lower your car it generally gives you more negative camber so it wears more on the inside of the tyre. With the VT's from factory spec they have negative 2 degrees camber which it explains for the common inside tyre wear.

I had a customer on Monday with a WH Stato the rear two tyres had belts hanging off the tyre with the other half of the tyre still had half tread left so we replaced the tyres and sent him to Pedders to get a 4 point camber kit.

With superlow its not all that bad...
my mate has had SL front n back for ages now n we really haven't noticed any serious inner tyre wear..
though he is a very smooth driver n doesn't give it much...

My opinion is that you should be alright, if you want you could get away with a 2 point camber kit probably no worries, end of story...

You could just throw the SL's in the rear cause u can do that urself easy, then drive around with them and see if you notice any problems...
If for some reason u do get excessive wear, chuck ur old springs back in n sell the SL...

atm ive got a 2 point camber kit im still unhappy with it because I can't get the specs right (wheel alignment) so im going for the 4 point camber kit next week. I've also have super lows aswell with 19's

thanks all, just gave him a call gunna pick em up tomorra and chuck em in on saturday.

just outta thought, are the SL springs legal? not that i really car but just curious

 

[Jesterarts]

SL is legal...unless u got a really low kit
by me SL is still monster truck...
but i like my commodores...like...underground!! lol
so im abit bias...
