Default Rear camber kit

Have on BCR coils with 19x10.5+35 wheels and running 265/30 tires. Do I need a rear camber kit? I'm going to lower the rear until the wheel gap disappears; rears are rolled. Give me some input por favor!

If you get the Megan camber kit like I have, you have the choice of adding positive or negative camber. If you want to correct your camber after you slam it then you'll need to go positive camber. If you have room that is. As you go lower the wheels go \ If you want to correct it the camber kit will push the top to straighten out like I That's where you'd have more chances of rubbing. When some people poke their wheels out and they want to tuck it under the rear quarter panel they push it out to negative. Hope this helps.

^^ thats what you need to understand the camber kit. No you wont NEED a camber kit, with those specs and tire size you will be Ok but get ready to replace tires about once a year..

I am running 19x10.5+24 245/35/19 and I have no rubbing or camber kit.

Will you need the camber kit???
Depends.... Depends on how low you are and how much negative camber you have created. Every car has a different amount of camber even if its the same model. I have the kit and i'm running 265/30/19 in the rear and tucking. I run about 1.8 degrees of camber in the rear but I have also rolled my fenders in the rear.

I think you will rub in the rear on big dips and stuff but not on every little dip. I personally would spend the $200 bucks and get it.

expect to see anywhere from -2.5 through -3.2 degrees of negative camber without the kit. Thats closing wheel gap. The lower you go the more negative its gonna get.

-2.5 degrees here lowered 2.5" over stock sport ride height on BCRs, but on OEM wheels. No excessive tire wear here.

Can I see what your 2.5" drop looks like?

Thanks for all the feedback from everybody; truly appreciate it! I will lower it soon and see how negative my camber is. If it's unbearable, then I'll get the camber kit. Maybe I'll even post up some pictures.

Got my alignment today. Front -1.45 and -1.15. -1.95 and -2.35 in the rear. I was very close to within Specified range so I'm passing on a camber kit. I am slightly tucked with a no finger gap.
