camber kits?

[ianf (gone)]

I have a 2004 aveo5. I have a set of h&r lowering springs about to get installed. I am using oem struts and shocks from kyb. I have plusone wheels and tires (195-50 r15). Do I need to add a camber kit for this application?
Please help.

Should not need to, best bet would be to have the alignment checked after you install them, that will tell you for certain.

+1 you adjust camber while aligning it, so if you need them they can put them in..

I would be very cautious of most camber kits though, i bought the cam bolt style, and after a very scary ride home from an alignment, found 3 of the 4 bolts were sheared off because they used an impact. The forth one was about to break (broke the rest of when it tried to loosen it). Make sure you get a grade 8 or better kit, even if you have the tightened by hand.

Thank you petrified.rabbit. my local shop said I might as well get one or a bumpstop kit.

I have a 2007. Does anyone know if the camber on the Aveos can be adjusted with the plate kits (at the strut mounts) instead of the camber bolt kits. The plate kits just seem like more of a permanent fix to me. Thanks!

the aveo does not have a bolt in mount, but you could try a camber mount kit for a vr6 vw. and see if it fits..

like pictured here:

Thank you PR. The garage recommended changing struts, strut mounts, ball joints, and control arms. I am going to do those....try to fix the inner tire wear issue. Maybe the excessive wear on those parts are allowing the car to "rest" out of camber.
