Default How low can you go

Hello,

How low are you guys going without having a negative camber? I would like to drop the car but I want to have zero camber, or just the very bare minimum. Thanks

any drop will give you more negative camber.

I have seen alignment sheets staying within manufacturers spec after dropping the car. I just can seem to find the posts where I saw it.

I don't know. when you lower a car, it does not stay the same specs as stock height. I've never had a car that when lowered stayed the same factory alignment settings. That's my experience.

Anyone else agrees? I found a post (https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sus...ompatible.html) that 1" drop on all corners came out short on recommended specs. From what I have read here the RSR Down are more than 1" drop

even stock specs allow for some negative camber so I don't know how you can get 0 camber unless you get camber arms. If you get RSR downs and use camber arms to set it to 0, I think it may rub even on stock f-sport wheels...imo

sorry, I was referring to a big negative camber, I can live with stock spec or barely missing them
