How low

[swelch]

How much (mm) can I drop a Cup without having to fit camber bolts ?

My only concern is that of tyre wear on the edges as GSD2s arent that cheap and they are the ones I prefer now. The Cup / 172 is hungry enough on front tyres as it is without adding the additional wear of excessive camber.

The CUP is already low so i would only recommend on 35mm drop

I was only looking at 30 - 35 mm but want to know if this is low enough to wear the edges of the tyres.

im sure it will be fine, if u really wanna make sure then go for coilovers as this will make the suspension hidr and less body roll

I have been looking at the Ktec Coilover set - they said anyore than a 10mm drop needs camber bolts but not everyone on hear has used them and dropped more than 10mm. So I hope to be able to get some feedback from people that have done it and noticed any additional wear.

Thanks for you reply, I am of the same thinking of you but concerned on the advise I received.

YOU DONT NEED CAMBER BOLTS!!!!!!!

Mines lowered 100mm at the front with std bolts, if you get coilovers just get them set up properly on a laser alingment

40mm on a cup is fine, no camber bolts etc needed IMO

Has anyone lowered their 172 on eibach springs alone?

Do they lower it 30mm and does it improve the handling much?
