Default coilovers/ lowering springs and camber

Hey peeps,

On the s2k once lowered does the s2k suffer on the camber badly? Or do most with coilovers or lowering springs live without camber adjustment?

Cheers

The S is very sensitive to any change in geometry and will drive like a pig if not right. Lowering without a geo is dangerous too. You will gain static camber by lowering - probably too much - toe is also affected as the two are not mutually exclusive.

Basically, get your geo sorted after you change your springs/coilovers. I'd highly recommend inspecting your alignment bolts to see if they move freely before committing any funds elsewhere. There are plenty of threads that provide the necessary detail.

Lower it more than an 1.5" or so and you will max out either the rear toe or rear camber with out doing the toe arms
ALWAYS let it settle for a while then redo the geo
