Hello fellow Swedespeeders, I need some help,

I am about to install heico sportiv lowering springs on my 07 FWD XC90 (without nivomats), and my question to you all is...Do I need a front/rear camber kit to get my alignment within spec after lowering or is negative camber not really an issue?

f so, any recomendations on where to buy from? I have only seen kits for the front (from IPD), but what about one for the rear? I see that most places only sell a rear kit for AWD XC90 models.

I have heard different answers from different people/sources and I don't know what to do, I just want to get this solved already.

thanks in advance for your replies, and I truly appreciate the help.

Respectfully,
Anthony Gomez

I had the spings, but mine is AWD. Negative camber WILL be an issue in the rear. The front was broght into spec without a kit. This was a few years ago, before anyone offered the rear kit, which I would have loved at the time.

Call IPD and see why the rear kit is for AWD only.

Thanks for the reply,

How bad was the negative camber? And, do you still have the springs or did you get rid of them because they made your tire wear suck.

Do you have any pics of your ride with the springs installed?

Thanks
