Some people say you can't be that low and run a camber kit but it's actually better..But what I'm going to do with my coupe is roll everything under the front and rear because when I hit a bump my camber kit in the front hits the body of the car and it sounds like crap..it's probably cause I also need to replace my shocks lol..but yeah keep the camber kit..that will help you in the long run

And also take note that the only reason he has the camber is because he's so low he would likely scrape otherwise. I myself am lowered about 2 inches or so on Koni-Yellow shocks and Skunk2 Lowering Springs but don't have a camber kit or any major camber adjustment for that matter because my tires don't rub, but I'm as low as I really want to go. Most people would agree that slamming your car to the ground actually takes away from it's handling ability, so if you're really just going for looks then I guess slamming it's okay, but if you want to handle well just get a good suspension setup and lower it around 2 inches.
For starters get rid of the ebay coilovers. The spring rates on those are probably crap and if you go that low the car will likely bounce causing you to rub an unpleasant amount. Either purchase a set of full coilovers I.E. something like form and functions, or a sleeve setup like Ground Controls over Koni-Yellows. Once you have a good trustworthy suspension, get the car to a ride height you want and take the car to a shop that knows what they're doing and have them do a suitable alignment to your setup. Without the camber kit they won't be able to adjust the rear camber much, so leave the kit on. That's the best I can help you at this point. Good luck, and do it right the first time.
Jdm_Katie wrote:yeah exactly what he said..just gotta get a camber kit front and rear is like $250..and then just adjust the back to however much camber you wanna run. then it will look like the hatch in the pictures above..I am currently 2 degrees of negative camber in the rear..when I had my other rims on I was probably like 5 or 6 lol maybe more.
