dropped my car 1.75 front and 1.50 rear, im doing the washer trick for the rear and was planning on getting the spc adjustable for front but want to know do i need it or can i just get it alignment and be ok? or is there a washer trick for the front camber as well? i can get the camber just dont wanna fork up the cash since ive already bought tons of toys for my car m think i could use it on other more important things like vacation or paying bills

the washer trick would work for the rear but just remember to get longer bolts if more washers are added. for fronts i would still get a camber kit, for the more leeway it gives you to adjust or easier to align. some people say its not needed, but i would go with your own preference. for me i would rather buy a camber kit, and dont have to spend money on new tires everytime there is enough camber wear. and if its your dd i would get both especially in the winter the more the tire contacts the ground more traction. and you might not need it as much as me, since im dropped more than you are.

My old CB was dropped an inch and a half. And even with the stresses of living on a backroad, I never needed one, nor needed to do the washer trick.
They say a good rule of thumb is any lower than 2", a camber kit is needed. See how you go without one, but hold onto some cash just in case you do.
That's just my 2 cents. Up to you.
life is good.

I got about the same drop. the rears the alignment guy didnt have to do anything. with the OEM set up it can be corrected without spacers.
for the fron I used SPC ball joints.

I love my kyb agx. adjustable and I can make it ride like stock or make it more fun.
I used gr2 before, didnt like the rebound.What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.
You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!
Retro!

I love nooBs...They make me look good
