Thread: Lower Front End

Tweet

Thanks for replying to my sons post guy's... Not trying to argue but I was reading this article in "Popular Hotrodding" and they seem to have done it without allot of negative consequences and even according to them improved the handling of the car while also lowering the stance.

I understand it may effect the camber or the angle of the wheel. If the top of the wheel is leaning out from the center of the car, then the camber is positive, if it's leaning in, then the camber is negative. If the camber is out of adjustment, it will cause tire wear on one side of the tire's tread. If the camber is too far negative, for instance, then the tire will wear on the inside of the tread. So I'm guessing tire wear is the biggest issue???

I have also seen this modification done by Chip Foose on "Over haulen" a few times... So what am I missing??? Again I'm not trying to argue. It just seems like a no cost modification on the front end anyway (other than possibly a slighlty stiffer ride and premature tire wear) that will give me the look I'm after.
