please help! camber on a car

this is probably been covered all ready but i couldnt find it any where. i was wondering how to increase negative camber on a car? does any onw know? if so can u please help me? thanks!

The general guidline would be to move the top attachment point of the suspension strut inwards and/or move the lower point outwards. Now exactly how that should be done depends on the construction of the specific car/kit suspension (which aren't necessarly the same) and on the preferences of the modeller.

i dont know what to do for the back since it is diffrent from the front. lpease help!

Yes, that would be the 'correct' way to do it, on a full size car. You can try it on you model, but it's likely to take alot of work.

Another way to do it would be to shim the uprights, where the brake disks get glued on. If you attach the disks at a slight angle to the uprights, you've added camber- or at least camber look. It would probably be alot stronger than hacking up the lower or upper suspension frames.

In general, the more info you can give in a question, the better answers you'll get. The instruction pics above are great- but pics of kit parts, or the name of the kit helps too. This is a Fujimi kit? How the wheels get mounted is an important factor in this kind of modification.

thanks for the help! means alot to me. this is a aoshima kit. its this!

i know its crazy but i like it. besides it was cheap!:grinyes:

anyway the suspension bits are black and i dont think you will see much so thats why i put the instructions up.

do you think this should have negative camber or should i just leave it normal

Hope it helps.

Hmmm, dunno. Could look cool. Then again, on a van, it could also wind up looking heavy and overloaded instead of sporty- like there's so much weight on the wheels that the suspension is bowing. On a light little car, that's usually not much of an issue.

It will take an artistic decision.... :thumbsup:

i decided not to because wat u said is very true. it would look wierd and also one of the suspensiono bits snapped so i hav to fix it :shakehead. thanks for the help anyway! :)
