I'm lowered with Megan springs (~2" drop front and back) on 20x8.5 front and 20x10 rear and I'm at -0.82 front and -1.30 rear with maxed out camber adjustment.

My question is what kind of camber variations will I have the lower I go? I plan on going with coilovers soon so I'm trying to figure out which camber kit to get; sage, exact, or spc? I know the sage and exact give more camber adjustment in the rear but will the spc's be good enough?

Just post up your specs and opinions.

Thanks

Nobody has ever taken their lowered car to the alignment shop?

No one can really tell you an exact answer because camber doesn't vary linearly with drop in height.

i know, but i was hoping i could get an in the ballpark estimation

i went from stock to this height.


and -3.6 in front

My GS3 was dropped on H&R's/stock struts which isn't much of a drop and the most I could get out of it was -2. up front and within spec on the rear.

Now with teh BC coilovers and tucked just eyeballing it I would say about -3-4. up front and about -2-3. out back.

20x8.5" w/ 235/35R20
20x10" w/ 275/30R20


If you are looking for a roundabout number then I would say it's safe to go with ~0.2deg with every inch or so... but that's just a ballpark figure which probably isn't close from my experience as a tech.

5t341th and eklikewhoa, now is that before or after y'all got it aligned?

I had it aligned before with the H&R's but now with it tuckin I can't do much for camber without some work on the fenders cause they sit right against them.

of course its after alignment. how else would i get those numbers.
i left my camber as is because i was lazy to change it myself. plus it looks tight.
but u gotta set toe correctly or u will eat thru tires

At those drops it may be impossible to counter the toe link and you will get inner shoulder tires scrub.

The MEGA arms I sell will mitigate this quite a bit, but you may also need a undermount toe link to fully resolve tire wear issues. I guess you gotta pay to play

With a drop like that, how much lower until you hit bumpstop?

The shop I went to here in bay area told me my front camber is maxed out at -2 and rear at -1.5. I have about 2" drop. Is this a fact or this shop is just not good? I've seen a post that some one has a 2" drop and was able to get his camber at -.2. This shop fixed the toe front and rear within spec though.
