H&R Lowering Springs

[AdreeN]

With a modest drop of 0.75" front and 0.6" rear, does this require a rear camber kit?

Research I've done so far suggests the additional rear negative camber stays within factory alignment specs, so there's no reason for a camber kit.

Can anyone with these springs on the ITS chime in? Thanks!

No camber kit needed unless you're super anal about being absolutely within spec. My rear camber was off by like .1 degree after alignment after the springs.

Eibach Pro Kit is close enough in my opinion as well. -1.9-2 ish all around.

Planning to keep car long term, so camber kit would be best.

I assumed h&r with modest drop would be mpre comfortable than the eibach pro kits...but research tells me its not? Changes things for me

I have my own thoughts on camber, but my use case is autocross-centric. I went through a whole ordeal after lowering the car where I noticed to my senses a significant increase in noticeable understeer and it drove me nuts. I just installed adjustable lower ball joints a few weeks ago to increase the front camber to -3.5 and felt an instant improvement on the street, but jury is still out on overall improvement for autocross. My first event I could sign up for is in two weeks.

As for comfort, I just went on a long backroads drive yesterday. A variety of different road quality, and I spent about an equal amount of time between comfort and sport+- and honestly, the car feels great in both settings. Comfort is adequate for sporty driving without feeling like you're driving a sofa, and sport+ isn't punishing enough to really even notice you have it on. I have zero complaints with ride quality. Slightly more stiff than stock.

I'm on Eibach Pro-kit btw.

For camber correction to bring it back closer to OEM ranges in the rear, personally don't think it's completely necessary, but it also won't hurt anything if you want the peace of mind.
