cambering kits?

is a cambering kit worth buying when getting coilovers? i just order the ground controls for my MSP. drop a line on what ya think.

just how low are you planning on going? the lower you go the more messed up your camber is going to be. so if you want to slam the car then it might not be a bad idea. Tires get expensive. Trust me I didnt put a camber kit on my honda when I dropped it with coil overs. It was such a pain in the ass.

daily driving i think close to 2 " the most. i might consider if it is drivable around here in houston, but if i was to slam it it would only be for show.

Well ask the manufacturer of the coilovers their opinion. Im sure they tested it. I dont think the camber kits for our cars are that much $$. If you have the $$ you might just want to get it to be safe. I know my cambers off a little bit and my cars dropped 1.5 inches. Good luck.

I have ground controls, and they are almost all the way down. Pirana has them and he DOES have them all the way down, i dont think he has any problems with camber, i know i dont. I did have the ground control camber plates, but they were too much of a pain in the ass for me so i sold them.

I have GC's and I am pretty damned low, the camber isn't off too much. and it doesn't wear the tires too bad as long as you rotate when you are supposed to.

furthermore, I cant even get camber plates in the rear to fix it anyways, my +45 offset wheels already are VERY close to the fender as it is

From my experience of lowering cars I would say spend the extra few $$ and get em. I went through tires faster then I should of and the tires were a lot louder due to just riding on the insides. Of course this was done on an eclipse, and my friends SI and S2000 so the cars are much different.

hmm, thx everyone for some opinions i think ill try without the kit and see what happens i think ive spent enough money as it is.
