It does not appear anyone makes camber kits for the S-Type R. I have only had mine for two weeks so perhaps I just haven't found of a company that does make them yet and maybe I'm just wrong. But if I'm right and no one makes camber kits, aren't you guys with lowering springs burning through tires by wearing out the insides?

 

Why a kit? Why not just adjust the camber? Is it not adjustable enough?

 

https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s...e4/#post190615 Post 71 has the revised alignment specs...S-Types were notorious for excessive inner tire wear in stock form; I can't offer any info/advice to lowering springs, but assume getting the revised/updated alignment specs will do more good than harm...

 

Nope, had my h&r springs on since the first of the year.

 

Good to know Michael Star. It seems some vehicles are more prone to extreme negative camber issues via lowering springs causing the bottom of the wheels to bow out, leaving only the inner edge contacting the road and therefore wearing rapidly. On two of my previous Mercedes' on H&R's that had no camber kits installed, I would burn through tires in about 5k miles or so, and that got very expensive. But then on my old WRX, I had no problems. According to my old neighbor who had a lowered B6 chassis Audi S4, he did not have extreme negative camber issues either. But on my old Mercedes', they were so bad that they couldn't be corrected without a camber kit because the factory adjustments were not long enough to dial them back in.

 

I think Brutal made some comments on alignment with lowered springs recently, might be worth a search.

 

Ya, as soon as I had the springs installed, I took Brutal's instructions to Firestone to get an alignment done.

 

By any chance do still have brutals instructions on hand to share? I'm having some problems retrieving them. Thanx.

Have you tried the FAQ under alignment? (Since yesterday)

 

Nevermind I found it. I was using my iPhone at the time when I posted for help; must have overlooked it, but anyhow thanks to Brutal and all for the useful info to share.
