Hello, I recently got stances and im lowering my s13. I dont have enough money to get ruca or toe rod yet so my question is. How low is low enough to start worrying about it messing up my toe and camber to the point where my tires wear really quickly?

Im gona get sum rucas and toe rods as soon as possible. but that might not be for another month and a half :/

Just wait until you can afford to do it correctly.

Just like he said above, wait for all of the part.

Or

You can be like me and throw on the coilovers, then buy the RUCAs. Then have you RUCA sit on the shelf, because you are to lazy to get under you car and put them on.

On most cars you are able to lower it about an inch or 1.5 inches before you need aftermarket adjustment. Once you get towards the 2 inch to 2.5 inch drop some cars run out of adjustment, especially camber.

Yea ill probably just let my car sit until I get those arms. But Im more worried about how much my toe is gonna be messed up. How badly do you think toe will be out of spec being dropped like 2.5-3.5 inches?

^ lot's.

You will have goofy handling and horrible tire wear.

You NEED the toe and RUCA right away, then get an alignment.

can les schwab or firestone do custom alignment spec w/ ruca/toe/traction/tension arms? or are they only do oem specs?
