camber kits

D-Bo · #1 07-25-2005, 04:22 PM

so now that i can finally pay for some things on my car, i need to put my suspension in along with some new tires but i'm not ready to spend money on some decent summer tires if the camber from the suspension drop will wear them in 8000km. does anyone have camber kits on their cars? should i be able to find something on ebay? any reccommended companies?

thanks

SPLParts.com

Not only the best designed parts but in most cases the Cheapest.

I know they have RUCAs and could probably get you Cusco camber plates for the front... I dunno if they're Front Strut perch will work with shocks.

P.S. the Powertrix crap on Ebay will do if your a risk taker. I have heard of them cracking and the Heim Joints squeaking.

maybe i'm just technologically impaired but i can't find anything for the rear on splparts.com

edit: nevermind i found them

so should i be paying the $269 for the rear then $166 for the front?? is that all i'm gonna need?? i don't know enough about suspension

Thats all you need to control camber if you want to adjust toe and caster you'll need more links.

Sportlines dont get the car too low... have you tried aligning it with the stock links?

you shouldnt really need that. Just get an alignment for like 70 bux...i got coils and thats all it needs.

well then if i'm buying new tires, are they gonna wear on the inside a lot still?? i mean i'm dropping it 1.9" in the rear. i'm pretty sure there's gonna be some kind of camber problem but the question is how much. i'm not concerned so much about the front cause it seems to be the wheels that get power to that have the most camber problems. or maybe i'm completely wrong about that. i don't know. maybe i'll try it without the camber kit and see how things work and if i see more wear on the inside then i'll think about adding more.

ahahahha i spent 20 bucks and got some adjustable bolts that replace where the strut bolts to the hub.
good for a few degrees camber +/-
dont remember what brand they were but they were just bolts with a cam lobe on each so when you turned the bolt it would swing the strut/hub in or out.

ok i know what you're talking about. all you have to do is replace the old ones with the new bolts and it'll help a little??

rears dont usually move that much. When i put my coils on....the rear practically didnt need adjustment. The front is what fucks up the most. Mine were like -3 degrees lol. The rear was like -1. Just get an alignment, im telling you man thats all you need.

what about these.

"UAS REAR UPPER CONTROL ARM BUSHES
ADJUSTABLE URETHANE BUSH WITH OFFSET CAMBER PIN. THE BOLTS HAVE A PLINE TO ADJUST IN CAR. CAN BE USED FOR INNER AND OUTER TO GIVE AROUND 2.5 DEGREES OF ADJUSTMENT, OR 1 DEGREE IF ONLY PAIR IS USED.
PRICE: $95.00 PAIR "

and how does that work with more than 1 set being installed? is it one goes from the arm to the hub and one on the other side from the arm to the subframe? so 2 on each side to get more than 1 degree?

and if you have to buy 2 sets of those then it comes out to about the same price as these, what would be the better buy? easiest install?

holy shitballs orestes, those look like they weigh 200lbs each..

thanks for doing the research and thanks for the info boys. what i did was order tires today and the bolts and we'll see how that goes with the 2.1F and 1.9R drop. i'll let you guys know

by the way, i ordered 195/50R15(F) 205/50R15(R) in toyo proxes 4 (all season performance tire - which sounds super

but they're actually decent tires)

this link is for you lazy sob's

D-Bo · #13 07-27-2005, 03:28 AM

get your car alinged before you go out and start buying shit... I doubt you'll need Crash Bolts or RUCAs because of a 2in drop.
