kw v2's itching to be installed

romak47 · 08-26-2010, 10:52 AM

So I want to get my KW V2's installed soon but i did not order any camber plates. Do i need them if i plan to drop my car around 20-25mm from stock height? What amount of neg. camber am i looking at??
What im looking for is a perfectly drivable car that has even tire wear and still handles well while not exactly tracking it..
My drop/coilover upgrade is 50% looks and 50% handling improvment over stock(hate the body roll)..
I will be adding 19" rims to this drop and willing to roll fenders if i have to.. So thats not an issue..
Input appreciated.

You sound like your looking for the same thing as me. My car specs are listed in my signature. With the drop and the front M control arms I'm at -0.8degrees front camber (you'll probably be around .5-.7degrees without the M control arms). I plan to increase or decrease front camber somewhat based on how my tires wear. So far so good but I only have a few thousands miles on my new tires.

The rear is a different story as far as wear goes. Without a drop the inside of the rears wear bad. With the drop I'm at -1.85degrees camber. I need the camber to fit my wheels anyways but there's no way to even out the rear wear.
