Default Camber ?`s

i just lowered my 98 eclipse with coilovers and im not sure if i need a camber kit or not??? already drove more then 100 miles on the tires with the drop and they dont show unusual wear yet! i believe the drop is about 2 inches! i set the locking perch half way so it sat in the middle of the collar! rides great little rough though! please help!

A 100 miles might not be enough for you to tell that way. Only way to see is my just looking at it and see if you can see it cambering or take it in for an anligment. If you really need it you can tell just by looking at it.

thank you! i looked at it and the wheels are almost tucking, and they lean negative but not enought to take the bottom tread of the tire off the ground, doesnt roll on side wall. and i had it realigned in june, and when i got it back from the shop the stock rims and tires had a little negative camber!!! and i noticed that 3000gt rears lean in too!!!

a shop with a good alignment machine can answer that question for sure. also, 100 miles wouldnt show wear due to poor camber adj. unless the camber was REALLY REALLY off.
