lowering the lude soon do i need...

camber kits??? I am going to put on Max Speed coilovers (adjustable from 1 - 4 inches) but i will only drop it 2 at the most for right now. I am also getting new tie rod ends, axels and CV joints not to mention 3 new tires....possibly new ball joints if they went bad too. Since this is all going to be expensive, could i save money and not get the camber kits and wait on them do u think the camber would be really bad if i drop it 2 inches? Also, where can i get a good kit for around 150? Thanks in advance.

For a drop of anything more than 1.5" you will need camber kits.

spend the extra 150 bucks towards good coilovers and only drop it 1.5 inches and get the camber kits later on if you wanna go lower. later

IF your going to replace your ball joints anyway you might as well get adjustable ball joints and kill two birds with one stone.

that was probably me that you emailed. If you adjust your coilovers your going to be out of alignment anyway and will have to have it realigned. So if your not aligning them before you go autocrossing it won't matter.

so yeah... i don't like the ride quality of 'coilovers'.... so i might try to convince you (mike) to go with just some regular lowering springs.... so a lil over 1.5" to lower will look nice and not too low for philly visits..... j_t.. could you pm a quote or post a quote for the balljoints?
