Lowering springs and camber kit?
Hey,
I've been reading on some non-fbody forums that when people lower their cars, they need to buy some camber kit. If I lower my car lets say about an inch from stock, will I need to buy this camber kit or will I be fine? Thanks!

Camber kits are for cars that don't have a provision for camber adjustments when doing and alignment. Our cars have a solid axle in the rear, so the camber doesn't change if you lift it a foot or have it scraping on the ground. The front strut mounts have several degrees of camber and caster adustment available. All you need is the springs and an alignment.

I just dropped my car about an inch with Hotchkis springs and didn't need a camber kit to get it realigned.

our cars are nice since we dont need any special parts to do the camber and caster adjutsment in the front. they have alot of adjustability up front. i dropped my front end at least 2.5 - 3 inches and i feel the stock upper strut plates still might have had enough adjustment to correct the camber. i have aftermarkets on it and they have an extra 1/4 inch of adjustability.
