I'm having a few things done on the car tomorrow and figured it'll be a good time to have it star lowered. My problem is I'm not sure how much to have it lowered. I'm on stock wheels/tires for now but if I like the way it rides once lowered I'd be looking to get some 19's. however I'm concerned as to the tide quality and tire wear. I know our cars have no camber adjustment, what would it run to buy a camber kit? How low should i go? normally i'd opt for the lowest possible but... Thanks

sorry but what is star lowering? is it something a dealership can do?

You really wont be able to go that low with star, especially if you are concerned with tire wear and camber.

So should I have him go as low as possible? If so how low would that be, an inch?

Star is one way of lowering our cars. Anyone with a star diagnostic can do it in using the dealer.

I never used star.. i really cant say how low it really is. When i was exploring the idea of using the start method, i remember being told that I would only be able to go about 1/2 inch. Tons of guys have used star.. i would just search the forum for threads. there are a ton of way to lower this car some are sketchier then others. i ended up buying the Renntech module.

My fender sits right at the top of the tire in comfort and I never have any issues being too low

How low did you have yours lowered and what size wheels/tires you running?

I'm lowered roughly 1" from stock. Current fender lip height is 25.5" at all 4 corners.

At that setting, the alignment shop could only get me to a minimum of -2.5* of camber front & rear. That's not terrible, but I'm sure it's going to cost me some inner tire wear. There isn't much adjustment at all with the factory suspension bits, so as you lower the car you are going to get lots of negative camber.

Lower the car in comfort to the maximum allowed values. Then when you put it in Sport2 it will go lower

Go with this since Shardul is the one who lowered mine. Also on stock size wheel and tire.
