has anyone gone any lower than a 2/3 without replacing the stock front end suspension other than springs? Im looking to go lower and was wondering when the wheels start to bow in..

The camber will start to go off with just a 1/4 inch lowering. However the stock suspansion componets(i.e. the controll arms) will start to rub and bounce on each other with a little as 2 inches. So its recomended that you replace the front componets if you want anything lower than 2 inches.

When I lowered my R/T the camber was off by 1.337 degrees on a friend's machine. But with the manual guage it was closer to 2 degrees.
