do i need camber kit?

[jredhonn]

i have an EJ8, and planning to get some Koni yellow/tokico illuminis/ KYB AGX shocks w/ Eibach Sportline springs. according to Eibach's website, the drop will be 1.8" front and rear.


from what i have read, if i drop more then 1.5" i need camber kit.

so my question is do i need camber kit? because I dont want to mess up the tread.

[devilman]

i would say yes

so, what's the hardness of the bolts, and what's the torque spec? i want to do it right =)

oh, did you use 10 x 1.25 45mm bolts or different length? ( different cars might need different bolts?)

btw, gimmezell, nice rims!!!

i used about 3 in the rear , with a bolt that was a little bit longer that the stock one (lowered 1.5 all around) still need to get a camber kit up front, was thinking skunk2

10 x 1.25 45mm is the size I used. I had to use 3/8" washer because they didn't have 10mm ones.

Thanks I like them too. :)

I only could fine Grade 8 bolts, but I would try to find Grade 10 in if you can.

when did they start making grade 10 bolts? last i heard, grade 8 was as strong as it got, before getting things like ARP, and SPS

[gimmezell]

I was told other people to get Grade 10 if possible. If they don't make them, then that would explain why I couldn't find any around town. :)
