you don't necessarily need it but it is a good idea.

You can get the camber kits or you can just use crash bolts. Most people use crash bolts since the camber kits are expensive.

As for installing them, I'm not too sure. I don't have them I got my suspension welded by some asshole who didn't know what he was doing.

Thanks squee, I can always depend on you for some advice, but what are crash bolts????

[Cr@zy Squ33]

A Crash Bolt is a bolt that is only threaded part way which alows for movement in the strut. You can use one crash bolt per strut or two its recomended you use 2 though.

I have seen camber kits for around $40 or so. Maybe I am thinking of something else. But yeah they are not needed but a good idea.

what exactly is a camber kit, and what does it do?

[Cr@zy Squ33]

Camber is the angle of the wheel relative to vertical, as viewed from the front or the rear of the car. If the wheel leans in towards the chassis, it has negative camber; if it leans away from the car, it has positive camber. Most Honduh's have negative camber.

What Crazy said. Basicly the kit just lets you set the camber correctly after you drop the car so that you don't wear tires unevenly and the car handles correctly.

I know this is a really old topic but I was actually searching for camber kits for my stratus (2.0 5spd) and they only make them for the 1g stratus v6. On top of that no one in my area is willing to do my alignment because either a. my car won't make it up the lift (it's pretty low to the ground and I have a body kit) or b. they don't do lowered cars.

Just great... what a pain in my A$$!!!! Any suggestions?
