fordkid Donating Members 46 Member For: 13y 9m 17d Posted 15/08/11 09:37 PM Share Posted 15/08/11 09:37 PM Hey guys I got a 06 bf mk2 xr6t ute, I am fitting wheels and looking to lower the front about 25mm and the rear 40 mm.Can anyone give me an idea on how much the fronts will camber in? Also Will I need a camber kit to reduces the amount of negative the lowering causes?Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just do the lowering and then see how bad it is, if need be then get the camber kit otherwise dont worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard of others not needing one though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kmac kit requires a bit more work, couple hours labour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
