    Dropping 8g

    I want to drop my car about 3 inches in front and 1.5 in back. Will I need camber kit for all 4 wheels or just the back ones? and if i just get coilover springs will my stock struts and stuff be ok? Im poor so money is a giant factor.

    Well, you do need to learn the search tool. It works great if you know how to use it.

    Anyway, I doubt you want to drop 3" up front. That's a bit excessive. You'll be scraping everything, and will probably scape your tires on the fender lining over the littlest bump. I wouldn't drop more than 2.5" up front, and for the rear to match, you probably want to drop it closer to 2". You will almost definitely need a camber kit in the rear. Up front, most of us don't need camber kits, but if you are dropping it as much as 2.5" or more, there is a good chance you will need one for the front. Also, you do not want to use coilover sleeves along with your stock struts/shocks. You will have a bouncy ride and the struts/shocks will wear out very quickly, especially dropping as much as you want. I know that you say you are poor, but the best thing to get would be the Tein Basic Dampers. Otherwise, you could go with Ground Control coilover sleeves and some KYB GR2 or KYB AGX struts/shocks.

    Alright, everyone clam down.

    Bebopin, man, just because someone posts that you are a noob, doesn't mean that you should start cursing at them. That's not cool. You come here talking like that and people are going to flame you big time. I'm not saying it's right, but you can't sound off every time it happens.

    3" front and only 1.5" back? your car will look funny... its like you want to scoop something up from the ground....

    That looks good. So do you just have new springs? or do you have chamber kit and struts as well?

    most people on here drop their g's and put new shocks and struts. they only put a camber kit on the rear. use the search button and look for camber kits. you will find alot on this.
