beat me to it... lolLess than 3/4 inch in most cases.
BMR considers their 7/8" drop front springs to be min-drop, but they're kind of the outlier here.

It's also important to note what your objectives are. I installed the FP Track pack suspension, which results in approx 1" drop. With this drop, I was only able to achieve about -1.5 deg camber in front (-2 deg rear). I installed BMR camber bolts to add another deg of negative camber up front (-2.5 deg total). This is sufficient for a street/HPDE car. But if it was a serious track car, I'd need to install camber plates to acheve -3 or -3.5 deg up front.Am i correct by saying camber plates arent needed with the minimal drop springs?
I thought about bolts but with 10 in wheels and 285 tires up front it didn't look like there was room.It's also important to note what your objectives are.

On the other hand, if the car will never see the track, you probably want stock settings. I believe camber bolts could also be used with a lowered car to reduce negative camber, FWIW.
I run 19x11" w/305s, square. Longer studs and 1" spacer. No issues.I thought about bolts but with 10 in wheels and 285 tires up front it didn't look like there was room.
I only run the 305s for track days (they are Supercar 3Rs, super soft). Street wheels are the stock 19x9s with 265s, Firestone Indy 500s.How do you deal with the tramlining on the street having 305's up front?
tramlining is really dependent on the road conditions, tire width, tread pattern, and remaining tread. 305 MP4S probably wont tramline as bad as 305 RT660s (due to tread design), and old bald tires will tramline more easily than new ones.How do you deal with the tramlining on the street having 305's up front?
How long your Supercar 3Rs last As I plan to buy Supersport R (80TW for my car). Feel free to answer in PM so we don't highjack this treadI only run the 305s for track days (they are Supercar 3Rs, super soft). Street wheels are the stock 19x9s with 265s, Firestone Indy 500s.
Without searching the rest of this thread...curious how that worked out for you. I had a true coilover (F&R) suspension with 550lb front springs, and felt it was oversprungThe Motion ratio on the S550 is pretty bad compared to other cars. This is why you need so much more rear spring compared to the front.
For example,....I am going to be running 1,600-1,800lb rear springs and 650-750lb front spring for AutoX.

I was almost ready to pull the trigger and caught the typo where it shows .625 f&r but the description shows 1.25 front, .5 rear. Called and the description is right, chart is wrong.
I have coilovers front, drag spring + viking handling in the rear.... Rides perfect. I wouldn't recommend anything else.I was almost ready to pull the trigger and caught the typo where it shows .625 f&r but the description shows 1.25 front, .5 rear.
