Okay if im lowering my car about 2 inches, will it through my camber way off, to the point where im going to need some camber bolts or something? Im using those coilovers, and I want to get it as low as possible without effecting the tread wear, or is this a stupid question?

If you lower your car 2 inch's you will have an unwanted amount of camber AND you will bottom out. Specially with the stock springs if you lower it 2 inch's your shocks will bottom out. I have ground control coil overs and even with the collars all the way up the car sits to low and bottoms out (and that's with 300 in/lb springs). You only want to lower your car at most an 1 - 1-1/2.
This is how my car sits lower 2-1/2 inch's


Its kind of hard to tell in the second picture but the camber is very negative. You will go through tires in 7000 miles :?Ian Carr

Every car I have owned has had a turbo in it, until I bought this latest festiva.. I plan to fix that though.

With the added weight of the B6T maybe.. But mine is lowered 2" with FMS springs and KYB gr2 Struts and it doesn't bottom out..Originally posted by project b6tIf you lower your car 2 inch's you will have an unwanted amount of camber AND you will bottom out...
Edit: My BP will but that's because the engine is installed so low.
