Getting my progress rear sway, skunk2 rear camber arms, and spc front camber bolts, and an alignment done all as we speak, I can wait to feel how it rides, oem specs

humboldt1498 · 12-15-2008, 02:52 PM

Wait are you getting it realigned to OEM? The rear sway bar will help the back end of the car come around on the turns, which I liked.

kingkung · 12-15-2008, 04:57 PM

yea, oem alignment specs

dorkiedoode · 12-15-2008, 05:15 PM

why did you buy all those camber kit for if your going to do oem specs? Unless your going aggressive wheel other then that your wasting money

Supermoto292 · 12-15-2008, 06:24 PM

Yea because even lowered in the front it doesn't change camber much. You want a little camber up front i went -1 all the way around handles awsome!

dorkiedoode · 12-15-2008, 06:27 PM

the front suppose to be a little more then the back for a better feel. I guess if you like it then yea.

kingkung · 12-15-2008, 06:27 PM

interesting, its mainly for a daily driver, but i got the cambers becuase everyone i know reconmends that i get them.

dorkiedoode · 12-15-2008, 06:41 PM

I mean camber is good but do you dd around a lot of corners? Or you just go straight and do the normal turn? If it just straight then you rather save that money for other mod. If you love turn and you do that a lot on your dd then yea of corse camber kit will help a lot. Like me I have the same setup I dd prety much work and home. But I love taking corner so that why I invested in camber kit. Then I realize my turn is not all that crazy anyway. So I decide not to install my skunk2 rear and only use the front bolts for now, untill I get my wheel then I'm going to need the rear. So you think about it. Cause that an extra 250 for the rear and If you don't put it to use, your wasting money.

kingkung · 12-15-2008, 06:57 PM

during my DD, i don't go all out, but i like to ocassionally take my turns fast and freeway on/off ramps at more than normal speeds.

dorkiedoode · 12-15-2008, 07:07 PM

if you think you need it do it. Better safe then sorry. But you need negative camber, not oem specs. Oem specs will not help you corner. You need -1.50 to -1.25 f and -1.25 or -1.0 rear and 0 toes all around.

paolo2k2 · 12-15-2008, 07:27 PM

oem specs will make you understeer more then a dump truck at its limits

kingkung · 12-15-2008, 09:26 PM

thanks for the info, if you don't mind me asking, Paolo2k2, what do you have your front and rear cambers set at? i am sitting on skunk2 pro-s coilovers.
