what are best options for camber in rear?

LadyEmily · 06-14-2007, 01:56 PM

i just recently realized the car has a lot of 'negative' camber according to the BF (specially in rear). i have the car lowered approximately 1" with tanabe springs. and i don't really want to wear down these tires so quickly.

i read that skunk2 has something for the rear? any other solutions, camber kits, or what else out there? and pricing would be great. thanks in advance!

The SPC kit can be adjusted on the car, while it appears Skunk2 needs to be partially removed and guesstimated into the correct setting range.

Comptech = SPC + $$

Moreover, are they back in business yet?

Jay Kincannon · 06-20-2007, 11:59 AM

First of all, it will require a professional alignment which is not cheap. Hear is the chearest price on the Skunk2 rear camber kit. I would also get front camber kit from CorsportUSA...IMO http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SKUNK...QQcmdZViewItem

I got the camber kit from skunk at corsport and had an alignment done at a local shop for $60 they also adjusted my camber

Jay Kincannon · 06-20-2007, 01:40 PM

They installed the camber kit and aligned all four wheels with the proper equipment for $60. That would never happen the "Big City". Do me a favor, have a fully dressed roast beef Po-Boy for me, ya here. Love your part of the world. Hope you guys make it all the way back to what it was before. Good Luck !!!

You're lucky alignment only cost $60. Over here it's $100.

King Bob · 06-20-2007, 04:10 PM

haha , dont make me start talking cajun french in here, ha. But no I installed the kit the alignment and camber adjust was 60. But that is cheap even for here the price's are so good there because the owner is the guy doing the work. We talked and he told me he makes most of his money on selling tires, the cheap labor rates are to get poeple in. I almost feel obligated to by my next set of tires from him, so I guess his buisiness plan is working :)

I'd go with the Skunk2 for the rears. The SPC seem to have a bit more adjustability, but I think the Skunk2 is more solid.

LadyEmily · 06-21-2007, 02:01 AM

yeah, all i really need to do is get rid of some of that negative camber in rear only... front seems resonable, and i'm sure when alignment is done, it'll improve. i just think rear tires will go out super fast if i don't do anything with rear...

LadyEmily · 06-21-2007, 02:02 AM

btw, thanks for all the suggestions!
