Hi everyone, I have an AWD IS250 and the stock height is 27 inches. I'm currently lowered on springs but I just got my coilovers in the mail and I'm ready to install them this weekend. I'm wanting to drop my car down to 24.5 inches fender to ground, would I need a camber kit to prevent tire wear or should I be fine? I'll be on 20s with a 30 series tire. Any input you all have would be great, thanks.

u would prolly need camber and toe kits.

Toe eats tires more than camber.

You think so? Even though I said I was dropping it 2.5 inches I'm technically dropping it more because with 20s the ride height goes up

Any type of drop will affect both camber and toe. You wont noe for sure ull need toe arms till u get the alignment. I dropped my car by almost 3 inches and I need toe arms.

It'll depend on your current offset and how wide your wheels are rn tbh cause that plays a huge factor as well

My offset and width of the wheels are same as stock. Just got bigger wheels that's all.

I just lowered mine on megan coilovers and waited to see if I would need camber/toe kits and I'm glad I did because I dropped the car to 25 1/4 all around and it was all able to be put back into spec with an alignment..

I hope that helps

I'm exactly one step behind you. Are you on an AWD or RWD?

Are you on stock wheels or aftermarket? I'm dropping mine to 24.5 fender to ground. I'm not sure if I need them or not. I'll just wait and see what happens.

You prolly won't need them then if anything just roll your fenders LOL

MIca250

Probably not. It's my daily so if I need them then it's going to suck lol.
