Problem with rear camber correction...

[ralvarez]

Hi, I have a set of 4 tires 215/40x16 mounted on 16x7.5 wheels, and recently put a set of lowering spring (neuspeed sport spring) on my '99 Civic. The car went down about 1.5 inch on the rear but the camber on my rear wheels went negative also. The problem is that if I correct the camber the rear tires will start to rub with the fender. What can I do? The offset of my wheels is between 38mm and 42mm. I'll appreciate any help.

How much is the camber off? If it's 1.0degree or less don't worry about it.

If it's more than 1.5-2 degrees off, then you're only alternative if you want to fix it, is rolling your fenders.

Thanks guys... I guess I will change the wheels instead of bending my fenders.

Have any of you hear of a rear arm link (or another piece of the rear suspension)that lets you put your wheels like 1 inch more inside the wheel bay, so your wheels doesn't rub the fender??

There's a friend of mine saying there's a piece like that. He saw it about 4 years ago from Suspension Techniques on a mechanics convention. Just wanted to know...

Rolling fenders is really simple, I would just recomend that. Just hold a bag of buckshot on the outside and slowly hammer it in with a ballpien hammer then paint it.
