Whats up fellas? Ive Been looking into lowering my FC about 1 1/2 - 2 inches. My car rides stock for now with some 17's i put on it.I noticed the back has some camber but the front looks like it sits pretty vertical without any camber. Do i need some sort of camber kit to lower my vehicle or will i be ok just lowering it?? Im new to the RX-7 world so i dont know much about the suspension on these vehicles.I did notice the control arms were aluminum when i swapped out the wheels,sweet. Did a search but didnt find much so any info from you guys would help.Ill post some pics of the RX and my protege 5 when i get my digi cam back.The P5 is finished with the usual bolt ons- Rims-lowered-intake-exhaust-ss-etc etc.I want to start working on the 88 RX i just bought. Need some help from you guys. Thanx TECH 7

2 inches is quite a drop, but yes, you will need to get camber adjusters. Racing beat sells them for $105.

I agree 2 inches is too far if you want the suspension to work properly.



Anyway.....if you are lowering you will need to have a rear camber adjustable link, otherwise you will have like 4 degrees camber and will shred tires.



A 1-1.25 drop would be more normal and still allows full suspension use (with a few changes).
