Lowering Ride Height With Coilovers

[Bakes]

If I lower my car another 8mm or so by adjusting my coilovers will it change the camber of my wheels from what they are currently?

ie: the car will be lower than it is now, will it make the wheels camber in more or will they stay as they are now?

Short answer, yes it will increase neg camber a bit more, and affect toe settings. Generally a good idea to do a wheel alignment following suspension height changes.

I did a wheel alignment after I put the coil overs in. So If I lower it a bit more now, I need to do another alignment? That sux!

Thats the joys of coil-overs unfortunately.

So easy to adjust height but so expensive if you need to keep paying somebody to do wheel alignments.

I am actually currently looking into some fairly cheap (relatively speaking) alignment gear for myself so I can do wheel alignments at home. Not for beginners but definately worth the investment when you consider what four or five alignments a year would cost if you had to pay for them.

yes, get it aligned after you drop it...

I like your style but my tyres were not exactly cheap

Alignment is not that much I guess. Might drop her down 10mm or so

Already looks pretty low in the photo... I hope you don't intend to come to Sydney after you've dropped it more, or the first pothole you find will inherit a V-Spec undertray!

Not that there are many potholes in Sydney roads of course...

yeah, Im in 2 minds on wether to leave it or lower it a bit more. The Nismo side skirts are ~125mm off the ground as is the front diffuser. The rear diffuser is about 110mm off the ground, at its very lowest point it would be 100mm (theres a round knoby thing that sticks out)

If I just drop it another 10mm max, I think it will still be OK. I dont want to add more camber to the back wheels also so It will be interesting to see how much effect the 10mm drop will have on camber.
