I just bought prodrive springs for my '04 WRX and I was wondering if I need to get a camber kit when I put these on...

 

i bought the same springs had since the fall (sept)
never got aligned or got a camber kit.. that would be necassary for cheaper teins with unnnecassary drops especially on All wheel

but the installer noticed my front coilovers were adjustable n i imagine the older 04 models to be the same... they had one setting and it went -.5 front camber

the tire wear is natural ; handles great the drop is perfect leaving room for 18's or tall sidewalls

 

I bought the same springs as well....and love them..the perfect drop for me and I didn't get a camber kit either

 

thanks for the reply guys I'll probably just get an alignment after i put them on because I haven't had one in 10 months..lol...

 

yep I would recommend one as well..lol..after I had my springs put on, I got an alignment like a month later..

 

No camber kit needed....alignment is necessary for any spring install. Your toe will be off.

Camber is adjustable up front stock.....

From what I understand any drop on your car should come with an anlignment.

 

I think that maybe true if you take it to a shop but I did them myself...

 

not sure what you mean? Why would a shop be any different than you doing it yourself? I think the alignment has to do with the fact that your car is now anywhere from an inch or more lower than it was before and now your cars weight is pushing differently on your wheels and tires; hence the alignment. I'm so not the tech guy I just remember LIC recommending the alignment after I put my springs on it.
I'd like to know more detail so if anyone can give me some knowledge please do.

 

well if a shop lowers your car you would need an alignment because your toe wont be set at zero and you would have negative alignment...so the shop would fix it so you would have 0 toe and just the right alignment for your tires/wheels...please if im wrong please correct me..
