Lowering
Hi guys
I plan on buying a set of bc br coilovers and lowering to the point where there is no wheel gap or slightly lower than that. Currently have a set of 19x9.5 +25 19x10.5 +12 with oem tyre sizes. Would i need to buy front camber arms? I've search around and seems i need rear camber arms + toe bolts. Only asking because SPL front arms are $700-800 a pop. thanks |

No, not with stock tire sizes... Really depends on how low exactly but at those offsets and tire sizes you should be good... The spl components will give more room for adjustment but aren't necessary

I'm on bc brs with stockers and can't imagine not doing front camber arms and rear camber kit. Best wishes.

If you will slam the car too low it will definitely change the camber being said it helps to have a front camber kit as our oem front camber has no room for adjustment. It will save your tires in the long run.
Currently I do not have my front camber kits and I'm slammed by 1 inch from the fender and my front tires is eaten/cambered from the inside. But if you can adjust your front toe close to zero it should be ok. But still you cant bend the laws of geometry and physics without having those camber kits. |

My bad, I was being lazy. As the other post have reflected if u go too low you will need them. I love the low look so I probably went lower than I should have. Can't tell u measurements...sorry. but in no time I was eating up tires duh. Even now at what I consider a moderate drop with the rear camber kit my alignment guy has me almost to to stock specs and i would think it is with the help of the camber kit. If anything I have piece of mind and am not wasting money on tires.

I needed front and rear camber arms and toe bolts to get back into spec on alignment and I'm only running Eibach springs. Camber arms are cheaper than eating up a set of tires.

I have SPL fronts and SPC toe bolts and rear camber arms. I'm a -0.2 & -0.3 front and -1.7 and -1.8 rear. The wear has been pretty even so far and I have about 16k on my tires and still have about have about half the tread left.
