I'm wanting to lower my car but don't I ow if I should run springs or coilovers? What is everyone's input on this? With spings.. I know I will need camber kit. But If I go w coilovers.. Will I have a problem w camber? Will I need a camber kit? What's the pros and cons on both springs and coilovers? Thanks guys!

Yes you will have camber problems with lowering your car. There isn't a solution to it yet but I am hoping there will be in the somewhat near future.

depends on how low you go, you may not even need a camber kit. my 600h is lowered 4" or so and the camber is minimal (-2* front -1* rear) and the toe is still within spec. the tires are still wearing evenly, so i see no reason to install parts to correct the camber.

also be aware that it's the toe that will kill your tires, not the camber.

4" lowered and even wear? For real? C'mon son! If so..that's pleasantly surprising...sorta like back in the day when the receptionist from "The Office" did the photo spread for Maxim lol

i pulled the wheel off last weekend and there's only slight camber wear haha. it's minimal enough not to be an issue. the toe is pretty spot on right now

People need to realize it's the toe alignment that is resonsible for eating away at tires and not the camber degree. hence, we need FIGS to make toe arms as well as camber arms.

Oh trust me..I know. But, if a portion of the weight is on the inside edge even with correct toe, it will still wear the tire faster on that edge.. camber and toe adjustments are a must to your point
