Camber Changes When Altering Vehicle Height

So you have a customer drive up in a Honda (for example) that he just bought and wants to purchase some eye catching 16"or 17" wheels with the low profile, pavement grabbing hi-pro tires and set of lowering springs from a popular aftermarket supplier. This will give him a good start on the look that he wants to achieve.

Performance spring companies abound with choices of height changes for the Honda motorcars that have been produced for at least the past ten years. There are choices from a minor 1" lowering spring set for a modest look all the way to a radical 3" drop that slams a car scant inches above the road surface. One thing to consider when installing these new products on your customer's car is what effect it will have on the vehicle after these new components are installed.

Front Camber Changes If you lower your vehicle one inch front camber can change by approximately -.75 degree. By lowering a vehicle two inches your front camber change will be approximately -1.50 degrees. When you lower a vehicle three inches you will change front camber approximately -2.50 degrees.

Rear Camber Changes If you lower your vehicle one inch rear camber can change by approximately -.50 degree. By lowering a vehicle two inches your rear camber change will be approximately -1.00 degrees. When you lower a vehicle three inches you will change rear camber approximately -2.00 degrees.

Now you can complete the job for your customer that will allow his car to handle and look the way he wants while maintaining the best possible tire wear.
