Default Curious question about adjustable springs and camber >>

If I had decided to get adjustable springs (I'm not, I'm going with Eibachs) then what happens to my rear camber when I change my ride height? Why would people do this??

Also, will someone confirm that if I drop the car 1.1" with the Eibachs that I WILL indeed need to correct my rear camber??

Default negative camber is increased as you lower the rear suspension

if you got adjustable height springs and only lowered half an inch you wouldn't need any additional camber adjustment. With the eibachs half a kmac kit(for the lower bars) or just a set of adjustable lower arms is recommended

Default I would bet..>>

That virtually No One changes their settings once set, so it is a valid question..

Any drop of an inch (Eibach) or more will require some correction if you want to optimize things.....&gt;&gt;<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1101053.phtml">Here's why...</a></li></ul>
