Did I make it in time?

 

[Phil Dammit]

Hope so, I know I did.

I wonder how low you can set these coilovers before you start getting negative cambers?

(need to get that fender gap out, without loosing performance)

That's really a relative question. You're going to have negative camber no matter how low you go from stock. Toyota spec allows for -.9* of negative camber from the factory at stock height. A good alignment shop should be able to get you within that spec down to about 1.75" of drop. Once you go beyond that without modified control arms you're going to be outside that spec. But like I said, even when you're "in spec" you're still going to be running negative camber.

As for losing performance, when it comes to cornering a certain degree of negative camber is actually a good thing. Maybe not so for everyday driving and tire wear but if you're going to be on the track, negative camber is going to give you more front end bite in the corner.

I am running 4.5" of drop up front on my base with 1.6/1.7 drivers to passenger side. Tire wear after being dropped since march 2013 still seems to be even, measured them while my truck was on the hoist. These coil overs will give you up to two inches of drop, from what I have gathered on the post within the forum and my experience anything beyond 1" of drop will induce some neg camber, and that a full 2" drop will give the numbers I am pulling with my drop.

Yes, I don't mind running negative cambers for corning, but I hate it when driving straight, the negative camber monster just eats away the inside of the tire.

It only drops down to 2 inches so it won't be bad. I did the 2 inch drop from sittin sic back when they were still a vendor and haven't got it aligned since the day I bought it in 2010 and the tires are still doing fine. With an alignment I'm sure they'd be pretty much perfect.

Without changing the geometry some how like with adjustable control arms or something, 2" seems to be the threshold for being able to get your X within factory alignment specs.

Glad to see you guys are aware that a little camber is good. You'd be surprised how many people didn't pay any attention to alignment until after they drop it.... then they call wondering why they couldn't get it set at dead zero. Then we have to explain that they were most likely never at zero, but they are actually paying attention to how it sits now.

Im so excited in my pantsys for my coilovers!

Like I said, I have been running 1.6/1.7 degrees for damn near a year and my tires are wearing evenly. Running 32 psi all around.

If Amy and Guy cant work something out you can always get them from Total Chaos. Think they were a 150.00 for the set.
