Default Skunk2 Camber kit

I installed mine today (Thanks Jason for the product and Jesse for the delivery). Pretty straight forward, but just had a few questions:
1. Why does the steering feel so loose now? Almost like I have power steering, the wheel just swings around.
2.Anything I can do about rubbing?
Thanks

You'd better not have too large a drop or else those hex-head bolts are going to put some pretty good dings in your shock tower and eventually holes.

As for the odd steering feel, get an alignment done and then come back.

Yeah I went ahead and dropped the front end like 3 inches just for shits and giggles to see how straight it is and it's not bad. Just rubs around turns a lot. Too much tuck.

Yeah the alignment is next on the list, not sure if I should waitl till I get my new coilovers or not though. The ONE place in Orlando that will do an alignment requires a camber kit and I've gotta be there at 7am just to be out by noon.

the wheels turn easyer because your camber is way off and you have a smaller contact patch.

I can install it but I would highly recommend you drive it straight to cars and concepts and have them do an alignment.

Folks,
After installing your camber kits , do not pass go , do not collect $200. GO straight to the alignment SHOP, I learnt the hard way. (steerting wheel way off...car pulling like a mother)

I did mine at firestone...$120 and I got lifetime alignment.
Went there when I dropped the car.
Went there when I put the camber kits on.
Going there when I put new shocks on.

At $40 a pop, i have gotten full use of my $120 and there is more to come.

Anyone know who'll do them besides nix-n-black in orlando? I almost wrecked today a few times on the way to school, and i've still got a 40min drive to work. It scares the shit out of me driving like this. And when I change lanes the tires squeal like I'm doing 60 around a turn.
