- Sun May 03, 2009 3:54 pm #114638 I am running a full kyb agx setup now with skunk2 camber kits front and rear if you plan on keeping your car as a daily I would def have camber kits with a drop: camber kit> excessive tire wear lol. I drive over 20k miles a year and with correct alignment i go through tire less than my buddies that drive 10k miles a year. Also depending on the way you drive your car that should encourage you to modify accordingly.

If you are dropping it a lot then the camber kit will come in handy.

What's your priority?
Handle better
Faster, more HP
better looks

how's your brakes? when they need replacing that will be a good time to upgrade to some stainless lines to replace the rubber ones, some better pads & rotors :thumb:

- Thu May 28, 2009 10:29 pm #119311 I wouldn't recommend dumping your car on a camber kit..it'll ruin your shock towers (already did that to mine). Plus camber is not going to kill your tires, if you get it aligned properly then you don't have to worry about that.

jdm p28? que??

You wont want a camber kit for autoX, you will want the negative camber. Since you said you want to race like that I would suggest:

New bushings everywhere!
Bigger sway bars front and rear
Suspension. Not sure what you have?
SOME GREAT TIRES. Kuhmo XS would be nice. I have Azenis.


Get all that and leave everything else stock, or as you have it. It would be the best idea to start with a completely stock car, so as to get a feel for what really needs to be done, and so that you can learn how you as a driver need to get better.

I was running omni coils and stock shocks. Everytime you lower a car the tires and going to lean in. B and c pillar bars don't really do anything. I had a c pillar and I felt no affect of having it. More of a bling purpose
