is anyone running rear lowering springs without a camber kit?
after installing new h&r springs and ford racing dampers .. how do u prevent uneven tire tread wear?
do u need a camber kit or just a good alignment? |

Depends on how low you go, anything 3" or lower is going to require a camber kit. 2"-2.5" is fine with a good alignment.
Keep in mind that all tire wear isn't from camber. Mine had bad toe, which obviously can be fixed with a alignment, or you can do it your self.

I'm running 2" drop springs on mine, as long as you have no toe (get a good alignment), the camber won't make to much of a difference. Just to be sure, I rotate my tires front to back every month or so just so all wheels get even camber wear, along with the usual rotations that you're supposed to do anyways.

So mote be it
|
Which H&R springs? If they are the sport springs, those are less than 1.5" and you shouldn't have any real issues.
If you found a set of cup kit springs that are 2"+ drop then you might have some camber issues. |
