Camber Question
I'm plannin' on droppin' my GS with Espelir springs and L-tuned struts. Once they're installed will I be able to keep my camber in spec?? Anyone with Espelir springs know the answer to this?? I'm runnin' 18" staggered setup right now, and need to drop my ride. I'd just like to try and avoid any camber issues until a kit comes out for the GS.
I read somewhere that a drop of anything lower than a 1.5" drop won't be able to meet spec. Any truth to this??
Any of you suspension gurus have an answer??

Well, I'm no guru but since my car is lowered about 1.5" I can tell you that with the factory camber adjustment maxed out I am still slightly out of spec to varying degrees on each wheel. I don't remember the exact numbers, but it wasn't out by a lot. I will be going in again to have the alignment checked again and will post the results.
My tire wear is fine, no unusual inner tread wear after about 14k miles on current tires. Not sure how low those springs will take you, but if your toe adjustment is right on and the camber is not too far out of spec, you should be OK. Hope that helps...
