Toe adjustment is more important but when you're tucking you will wear out the inside faster anyway and the suspension geometry is gonna be way off. Looks cool though

yes they are absolutely necessary when you drop a car 3" as well as a proper front-end alignment. hit me up I got ball joints for sale, you'll have perfect camber and I have a connection on alignments. the rear I can do with washers...flawless victory.

Yes get them.

And the washer trick = no no. Don't be cheap. Just get a rear camber kit.

Real cars that adjust their suspensions don't use the washer trick. And I seriously doubt you want to ride dumped all the time, so get a rear camber kit( along with the front)

AND this is why your car hasn't sold yet. sorry for jackin the thread with that comment. My friend and I just installed the buddy club front camber kit on his del sol and now he needs to find someone to professionally adjust it. Does anyone have a good method to adjust them for the diyers????? I heard a level and some other crazy methods but just wondering what anyone else thinks...............

oh and for the record i cancelled my little for sale deal so i can track the car me and pop dukes are trying to race that piece of shit car i have seems how it handles so good lets bang some off ramps you'll see either way im not getting defensive cause i know my car is a joke but for the simple fact i have less then 1500 invested in the total build i'm not crying
hit me up there is an alignment rack local i have access to......





oh and brendyn knows my car and knows it'll out handle alot of other junk on the streets including cars made specifically for handling. so he might indeed trust the washer trick seems how it works perfectly. fine....... oh and im not a brand whore i make shit happen.
