What is the lowest drop recommended without needing a chamber kit?
Also how are the guys with the more than 2 inch drops (like DF210s) doing with their chambers?
thanks

stock eccentric bolts are not very adjustable. any drop worth any effort on modification should require a "CHAMBER KIT"
my car is lower than 2" and my bolts... ie. "CHAMBER KIT" will adjust enough to correct my camber

you can get crash bolts to adjust the camber or get some proper top pillow mounts with camber adjustment. you have 5 options:
--Hotchkis: nolonger made but were around $450 can can get them used. comes with strut bar
--C-one: $265+normally around 15 shipping from kamispeed: 2 month + wait from now as they normally wait to order a larger number of things at one time
--Cusco: $285 shipped from a dealer if you find them the part number. DrivenConcepts can get it but also a 2 month wait as its made to order, imported and low priority for them ;)
--K-Sport: 280'ish shipped: 2 week wait from authorized dealer as they are made to order from k-sport. Got mine from DrivenConcepts
-Tein: option available for tein coil over suspensions. 280'ish shipped. 3 month wait as with cusco, made to order, low priority and imported

so I would be okay with simply getting the bolts I have seen around and not the 200 dollar rear "CAMBER KIT"

I dropped mine 2" in front and 2 1/4" in rear and i got lucky and was able to adjust it with the stock camber plates. So if you lower it try to do an alignment before you buy a correction kit.

what stock camber plates? the front does not have camber adjustment other then the 2 bolts which only allow alittle movement and the rear has only the small bolt and disc which you rotate to adjust its camber, also not that significant of an ammount. I cant see either of those being able to correct 2" of drop?

I have the df210 springs and bought spc camber kit because I was still getting bad tire wear in the rear even after a alignment.

I needed the Hotchkis camber plates with my drop... and it was just a TRD drop. When I installed the plates, and switched my tires, the inside were all worn down. I should have taken a couple pics.

For the front i didnt even have to adjust the camber, just the toe. For the rear "the small bolt and disc which you rotate" thats what i was talking about and was able to adjust it with no problem. I know that it is good because i did it myself on the alignment rack at school.

If you are anywhere less than a 2.5" drop your rear eccentric bolts should be fine. If not go get crash bolts from the dealer.
