hi guys. i'm going to be doing an H&R 1.3" spring drop soon on my 07 xkr and just want to know if there is enough camber adjustment front and rear to get it back close to factory specs. I don't mind and would actually like 1.0 of negative in front and about .5 of negative in the rear, but just want to make sure that I won't be stuck killing tires with no room for standing the tires back up after the drop. tnx.

 

anyone have any info on this with first-hand experience? tnx.

 

No first hand experience but, plenty of people writing about it on this forum. I basically decided not to lower my car due to no camber adjustments at the rear wheels. Some people (search for the posts of SoCalBabe) stated that they ended up with nearly (or more than) 2 degrees of negative rear camber as the result of lowering. She actually had a set of expensive shims made to compensate for the bad camber.

If you want only 0.5 degree negative at the rears you'll likely have more than that right now. I measured 1.2 degrees negative on my stock rear setup while I had about -0.4 at the front driver and -0.8 at the front passenger wheels. On my XF I am maxed out at -0.3 at the front driver side, which is just not enough for my local winding road driving routine.

 

such a bummer to hear this, as these cars look amazing lowered with wheel spacers. wtf would jag not give any adjustment? wait....I know why, but wtf?
