[QUOTE=90_DA;1600071]
before the kit was installed, but its this low with the front kit maxed out.
and this is with the kit…-1 camber on front…maxedddddddd…
still good tho =][/QUOTE]
After looking at these images, I can tell that this car is really low, but not as low as some of the cars i’m seeing on this forum. I’ve seen images of cars that are almost literally slammed. The camber kit used with this car is supposed to be the Revo A-arm, and is supposedly maxed out. What I would like to know is what camber kit are people using to go lower than this guy has gone?
I’m almost thinking of going with air suspension. However, I would still need a camber kit.
I would like to know about this also. Oh and about car being much lower, I thought i read somewhere that they use Front DC with DC fort arm and rear EF shocks of some sort as they are shorter than our da shocks which in turn gives us more travel?
Anyone give us an idea at the least?
from what i know camber kit isn’t what makes you lower they only help straighten out the wheels after you lower the car. my car has negative camber so i can tuck my tires but this isn’t a good thing for my daily driver setup. my wheels look bowed. i would like to think the right coilover setup, shock absorber and possibly offset will help you get lower. Please someone correct me if i am wrong but i would like to at least throw my idea in.

DING DING DING! There’s alot of factors that can make a car go lower if wanting too… like tires, offset and size of rims… also as mentioned above… different type of suspension setups…
Maybe the guy on top has a set set of lowering springs that only lowers to a certian height… but if you were to go with coilovers… you can set it to lower down to 4 inches… it all depends actually…
my bust. offset won’t lower your car so don’t think buying a different offset tire will lower it. it will only help you keep the tire in the wheel well so you can go lower. just wanted to clarify that.

Good clarification there bud. To the OP… all those mentioned above varies… it all depends on what you get cuz theyall tend to go together to get the car a little lower… but your best starting point is if you want lowering adjustability… start off with coilovers…
I only want to know what camber kits are available that will allow me to get as low as I want to without maxing out. In other words, if I used the Revo A-arm kit just as the guy in the picture above, I can only get the same amount of drop as he can because he is already maxed out. Therefore, if I wanted to get lower than him, I would have to have a different camber kit which will allow me to do so.
Also, if you have the correct wheel offset, you won’t have to tilt the wheel inwards to clear the fender edge when lowering a car.

Not trying to be a dick but I don’t think you know what you’re asking here. A camber kit in no ways can help a car go lower… what a camber kit is is a kit that helps push the wheel tilt in or out after you have lowered your car. Camber kits are used to adjust camber only depending on how you want your setup to be when you drive street or track.
I think the only way I can see how you are associating camber kits with how low you can go is because with the Revo’s, if you go very low… the top of the a-arm will bang against the underside of the fender… if that’s the case… I suggest you get the ball joint type camber kits (Ingalls is a well known brand)…
Like I said before… if you really want to slam your car… just get adjustable coilovers with shocks/struts that can handle the drop… other than that… I really have no idea what you’re trying to say about the use of camber kits to go lower :squint: Hope this helps bro… :whew:
Oh yeah forgot to address your topic about maxing out…
When you go really low to the point of being slammed… most or all camber kits you’ll use won’t be able to get the tires back to zero camber… if close then it’s fine… well you would have to get your toe back in check… cuz toe s what wears out the tires the fastest…
I really have no idea what you’re trying to say about the use of camber kits to go lower Hope this helps bro…
What I mean is, the lower I go, then the more I will have to adjust camber. My goal is to maintain optimum camber settings, no matter how low I go. Therefore, in order to go lower than the guy in the pics, I will need a different camber kit that will not max out like his did. You see, the Revo A-arm camber kit will probably allow me to maintain proper camber angles up to a 3 inch drop. However, a ball joint style camber kit will probably allow me to maintain proper camber angles up to a 4 inch drop.
Overall, what i’m saying is yes, the type of camber kit will be the determining factor of how low one can drop the suspenion. This is only if optimal camber angles are desired at any drop. Then again, if proper camber and alignment doesn’t matter to a person, then that person can go as low as he/she wants.
So you would recommend the ball joint style camber kit for my 91 RS? Do you have any Ingalls part numbers?

Honestly bro… I’ve owned two DA’s and my first one I’ve used the Ingalls ball joint one and it worked fine for me. It didn’t get me fully back to 0 camber but I’ve heard from alot of people that camber doesn’t really wear your tires out as much as unaligned toe. Toes is what really screws up your tires.
The ingalls ball joint kit tends to slide of out place (well mine did anyways) so I guess you can just weld tt in place after proper adjustments and it will work just as fine as a-arm types.
If you were to slam your car and get an alignment and fix your toe… say even if you have like -2 camber… you wouldn’t wear out your tires that much just as long as you rotate them periodically.
On my second DA, I just bought the Rhino a-arm kits (knockoff of the Revo’s for half the price) and have yet to installed them… but I’ve heard from lots of members that the a-arm works the best cuz of less hassle… well that is if you were to get the Revo’s.
Oh and sorry I don’t have an ingalls part number… just do a search for ingalls and it should show up… I just got home from watching Fantastic 4 and am too lazy to look for ya… haha… F4 is a cool movie by the way 
The guy in the image above is supposedly at -1 I do believe.
Thanks for the info, and I think that I will go with the Revo A-arm kit since it may be more reliable.
Thanks again!
