Adjusting Camber

If I lower my car 1.75F and 1.5R, how do I adjust the camber so that the tires won't wear away in a year? I have a friend that can install the springs (H&R Sport) but he is unsure about the camber correction. Help please

for the rear you will get away with the washer trick but the front will need a camber correction kit. pm me for some eibach or skunk 2 camber kit prices

I've read over and over that 1.75 doesnt need a kit, only if its 2 and over for extreme drops. I've also read that numerous people haven't had problems with a drop like this - they just get an alignment and have the people adjust the camber. I realize you want to sell your products but there has to be a way to correct the front without a kit, am I right?

So an alignment after the springs are installed will correct any camber problems with this minimal drop?

no with that kind of drop, it is possible that you do not need a camber kit

get it aligned after the install and the shop can tell you if you need a camber kit

Well there is a shop that my friend goes to for alignments and stuff that he seems to be in well with. I'd doubt they'd give me shit because those kind of people are cool like that.

Alright well I'll just get it aligned afterwards and see what they say.
