well its my right front camber thats out... -1.69 and it suppose to be in -1.50 to 0.00

silnismo · 07-23-2008, 02:02 PM

what suspension setup are running? and how low are you going to go?

You can't be just like "Oh i have a camber problem, help me out" and expect that we know what your talk'in about.

jyb116 · 07-23-2008, 02:04 PM

well as of right now i am running lowering springs i am trying to get my car past saftey and they wont pass it with the camber like that but after saftey is done i will be throwing back my coilovers which add about a 2inch drop

**ThatGuy** · 07-23-2008, 02:09 PM

Then do it right and go to SPL Parts like I said and buy the arms to set your suspension up correctly.

projectRDM · 07-23-2008, 02:16 PM

-1.69 is nothing. Most cars run at least that much, generally more on track, I don't see why it's a safety issue.

jyb116 · 07-23-2008, 02:19 PM

ya well i dont eather, but what do u do like i just want it to be safteyed like its just a hassle buyin permits days i wanna drive it. so thats why i am just lookin for a cheap quick fix for now thats why i wanted to know if these things would work

you know you can elongate the top hole on the shock mounting bracket and achieve the same exact effect

or install coilovers and raise it to stock height

or use stock springs

or possibly put the camber plate from the coilover on the lowering spring set up

but yes the camber bolt will work

*racepar1* · 07-23-2008, 02:21 PM

You can adjust that out by either loosening up the bolts that hold the knuckle to the strut and prying it to give you more positive camber, or loosen the upper mount nuts and pry the top hat over just a bit. That difference in camber is absolutely nothing.

well my coils are short and raised to the max so thats why i didnt do that, i am running lowering springs couldnt find stock springs, like i just will go with the camber bolts for now

WTF? Take it to a diff shop to get OOP'd. Seriously.

My car passed... and the frame rails were like 2.5" off the ground. Had like 3.something degrees of rear camber.

That makes absolutely no sense.

It's common for cars to have .1 or .2 degrees difference from side to side.

I don't see what the problem is.

The problem is that he lives in Canada, and some Canuck shop is apparently retarded.

JVD is also Canadian, so listen to that man.
