Re: lowering.
It's a really good Idea unless you've got a big wallet for tires.

Re: lowering.
Camber kits are only necessary for double wishbone cars like Hondas. The worst thing after you lower your car is going to be you toe. Just get a good alignment from a good shop and you'll be A-OK.

I used to know alot about MX-3's, but not so much anymore. Oh well.

Re: lowering.
mmm double wishbone...
Re: lowering.
i was thinking since camber plates are 2 seperate pieces. the plate that mounts to the chassis from inside the wheel well should be designed to be mounted inside the engine bay upside down (so the bolts are tightened from the wheel well) and the other piece that mounts to the strut or shock mounted from underneath the upside down plate. coilovers would help in this situation since obviously you would need to raise the car. you'd also be getting at least an inch more travel in the front suspension. oh yah the brace should attach to the same place as stock but inbetween the camber mounting plate and the chassis. kinda sandwiched i guess. ground control makes a camber kit for our cars, never seen them myself, it should look like this one below (reasons listed above.)<P>ground control camber kit for volkswagon a1,a2,a3 etc<BR>
<P>this would be cusco one from corksport site of course<BR>

Re: lowering.
even if you do need a "camber kit",its 10 bucks and 2 bolts.<P>The EC chassis does seem to have a steeper camber curve than the BG chassis....so you *MAY* need one. It'll be close either way....and more how aggressive you want your alignment.
