Hey man, i was wondering since i have pretty bad caber on my wheels, and i want to get the control arms that you guys make and sell. Do they fix Camber problems? and how hard is it to install?

you'll never get an answer from him posting up in here. i have to send him the link whenever there is something he should reply to. you best bet is to either ask him one of these nights i drag him to the chatroom or e-mail him: [email protected] (www.thedropshop.tv)

i used to have a link to the pics of the arms but i can't find it

i'm really amazed you haven't just stuck a longer bolt and some washers in the rear to fix it already. it is hella cheap and easy to. IMO, tires are just too expensive to mess around with negative camber.

Yea, i know, i gotta do that, but this control arm looks hella tight! I have to do my fronts also and how do i do those?

You can fix your rear camber problems by inserting washers in between where the upper arm on the rear suspension bolts to the frame. I have done this and gotten pretty close to getting my camber back to stock spec. Plus it only cost like 10 bucks from homedepot.

$10 for washers

Anyways, how many did you use? I will be getting Ground Control coilovers here within the next few weeks, and I know when I dump my car, the camber will get worse...

Also, can this be done for the fronts?

LMAO! isn't that what i said

kbslacker, it is said to use a longer bolt and 2-3 washers.

if you ask me. bolts are different lengths and washers different thickness. i was able to use the same bolt and added a washer. if you look at pics of my car (before the black kit) you can see my car was slammed and the camber was good. it is one of those kind of mods where it doesn't make sense until you take it apart yourself

Well, i want to use the lower control arms because they look tight and plus they are suposed to make my camber fixed

You don't even need new bolts for the rear. I used 8 grade 8 washers (2 for each bolt) and I got my alignment yesterday and I am at less than 1* now. I also used an Ingalls Camber Kit on the front and it is at less than 1* now also.

Whats the front camber kit consist of? Is it something that could be fabricated in the garage?
