Will Front Camber kit lower the front some?

Hey guys,


Quick question: Will the front camber kit lower the front more? I already have H&R springs and rear camber kit and I am planning on getting front camber kit too. Just want to ask if it will lower the front more if I get the front camber kit. Thank you

Your tires will lay flatter (assuming your camber is out a bit) so that may lower it a hair, not really noticeable unless you've got sick camber right now

It wont lower your car, it will change your camber angle. If you have a good amount of camber, bringing the camber closer to factory specs may give an appearance of the car being lower. This is due to the tires and wheels becoming more in line with the fender, and less "tucked".

Cambers will have nothing to do with your car height. What adjustable camber kit do is to give your tires more range of adjustment for positive or negative camber degrees. Think about taking your wheel off and let it stands on the ground (90 degree angle) and that should give you 0 camber. Now if are facing the wheel spokes then lean it toward you that will result in positive camber and away from you will result in negative camber (our cars come with a bit of negative camber for better cornering.) The lower your car is dropped , the more negative camber you will have which cause your tires wear in uneven pattern (mostly inside) but with camber kit you can adjust it back to the factory specs. Hope this helps..

Camber could lower your car?

It sound weird but yes it could change the height but it would be very little
The reason that I say that is that when I had my M5 I took it for an alignment
After I lowered it. Ater driving the car back home I notice that the height of the
Rear was different and after closer inpection and using a tape measure I notice the one of the wheels
Had I lot of camber so I took it back and I ask them to redo the alignment
And to make sure the camber was the same for the right and left
Tire. Then I took a tape measure just to make sure the height was the
Same for both right and left tire and they were.
Weird but it can happen
