    Camber Kit

    I'm thinking about getting Tenzo-R coilovers. Do I need a camber kit and if so, what kind would be the best?

    People are going to say you dont need it, but it is impossible to adjust camber up front without a kit, its your choice.

      Would I need front and rear?

        You don't NEED both, but expect irregular wear on the tires if the camber is not adjusted out. I only have a kit on the front of my CB7...

                if your only going that low, than you really don't need to get a camber kit for the front, but as always its recommended, since no camber kit often equals unequal tread wear. The washer trick for the back camber is usually recommended as well, but is not required.

                Camber kits i think are recommended for drops over 2.0, which in your case your below, so really its upto you.

                  You can probably get away w/o having a camber kit with a 1.5" drop

                  If you do need one:

                  I'd go with an SPC ball joint type camber kit (not as noisy from my experience and good if your UCA ball joints need replacing).. usually he back isnt really necessary.

                    I had a 1.5" drop on 17" rims and my camber came out to -1.5 degrees (give or take) all around. Some heavier wear on the inside tread, but it doesn't eat your tires up.

                          That is how much I am dropped. And depending on your offset, tire size, you may be able to get by without it. But I can tell you this. I also have a 1.5 in drop in the front, and my tires have worn so badly on the inside that they are now trash practically.

                          I recommend going without the kit for a month or two, then check your tires for wear. Then make your decision.
                          Regardless of the camber, you still need to get an allignment done after your drop to adjust castor and toe.

                          And as TysCb7 said, there is no adjustment that comes on our cars for camber.
