2" lowering would increase negative camber at least 1.7 degrees added to oem -0.7 [would yield -2.4].......... [most are far worse than this due to age and shock tower bending and lower arm bushing wear.

A tire eating monster without upper adjustable links front and rear.

1" lowering is extreme on a Q.........2" is a nightmare.

Well they are "Performance Lowering Springs!"

How the performance is lowered will surprise the unknowledgeable owner!

Disagreement isn't the same as anger, although seems that way these days.

Over 15 years of driving lowered cars, never get the guys that refuse to believe you can do it and it won't destroy your tires and car. Anyway, they can believe that if they want. My Q is 2" dropped, rides great, handles much better than stock, less roll, less dive and squat, definitely hasn't "lowered the performance". Good luck on the sale, those are great prices.

Falk, does the Y33 have the same issue with the front suspension that the G50 have in that you cant adjust the camber? I would think if you do lower your car 2in, the camber would have to be adjusted or you have too much negative camber. I don't know. I've never lowered a car before.

Lou, pretty much every car will have the same camber issues. I have around 2 deg negative f + r, yeah, the insides of the tires wear quicker, but in my experience if you rotate or flip the tires, you will still get 2+ years on them. That's good enough for me.

Negative camber actually helps cornering, every road race car on the planet has massive negative camber. I have never bothered with camber plates, etc, because I accept the trade off for better handling.
