How low can you drop your car before you need a camber kit to ensure your tires will last you a good amount? For example, I would like my hankooks v12 to last me at least 20k miles.

I have read through a lot of threads and I haven't gotten a definite answer to my question yet. I have seen members who have drop their car pass the 2'' and don't require camber kits yet, while some who only drop their car 1.5 inches already gotten a camber kit.

I'm currently dropped on KW V3 about 2'' all around and I am going to get an alignment tomorrow. I don't want to show up to get an alignment and be charged full price after the guy tells me there's not much he can do because my camber is way off.

 

I had my 300 treadwear BFG KDWs last 24k miles with one dismount and re-mount @ 14k miles. I'm lowered almost 2.5" without camber arms currently. Assuming your alignment (toe) is in check, you should be fine.

 

Just to update, Gville350 is correct. I got an alignment today, and my camber was right near the max acceptable OEM range after toe correction.

 

^My toe was set to OE spec, but of course the rear and front camber was far from within OE spec. Specifically 2.8 degrees in the rears.

 

to my knowledge, camber isnt adjustable on the RWDs, but IS on the AWD?
