Dude... you only really need a camber kit if you have a DEEP drop on a set of coilovers. Don't sweat it. Enjoy.

Re: B+G Springs?

Theres quite a few of us on BG's, Me for example, you dont need a chamber kit, you will be fine. Just remember that your gonna be low and theres always challenges that arive from that. BG's perform great and still ride well, as long as you like a low car you will love them. Make sure you change your struts when you put them on. You dont wanna have to take it all apart again in a few months and do it.

The fronts should be fine then, I would change the rear though if you havent yet.

Re: B+G Springs?

Lowering springs will eat stock struts in short order. You should be OK for a year, tops; you'll definitely want to upgrade your struts.

Re: B+G Springs?

You only THINK they have held up. Just because they aren't leaking yet doesn't mean they are doing their job. I guarantee if you put upgraded struts on there, you would be ASTONISHED at how rotten your current ride is.
