Camber/Swaybar kit question

[adumb]

Hi,

I'm going to be lowering my Ghia (IRS) with king lows. Now for the front will I need a whole camber kit, or just shims? And what will I need for the rear? I read something about an XR part you can get from ford to adjust the rear?

Also, what is the difference between the swaybars for the rear, one says with original swaybar and one is a replacement?

Thanks

Adam

You may be able to get away just shims on the front with just lows it depends on how much thread is left on the factory kit, the rears shouldn't be a problem I run SLs all round mine and the alignment came up fine

i out SLs all round on mine (non irs) and the front and rear was fine when i went to get an alighnment, the camber was 0.5 out so they said dont worry about it

The only real way to know for sure, is after the lowering is done. I've seen factory height cars, where you can't fit anymore shims in the factory set up. I've also seen the reverse, where you can put a heap in there.

So it really depends on the car itself. The maximum camber I'd have is 3/4 degree negative before tyre wear becomes an issue.

That's about the best advise I can give
