dropped on eibach pro-kit.crazy camber #'s

***ellioke*** · 05-12-2008, 03:08 PM

just wondering if anyone else has experienced #'s like this.....

Fronts are both at +.3 degrees

Left (drivers) Rear -2.6 degrees

Right (passenger) Rear -2.92 degrees YOUCH!

I went w/ pro kit tjinking I may be able to get away without camber kits but not now!!!!!

so i think I will be getting the skunk rear kit and the ingalls camber bolts for the front

PS...the Toe is whacked too

anyone?...anyone?

Is it just me?

i got comtechs which has the same drop ! and mine was about the same measurements
just becuase you dont need a camber kit doesnt mean you dont need a 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT !!! in any case i got the spc rear arms which i highly recomend over the skunks (easier to adjust and they will outlast the skunts ) and the spc front camber bolts i dont know if they are better than ingalls but they worked out great ! i now have -.75 in the front and the factory spec -1.5 in the rears with 0 toe and my car is like a magnet on the ground

just go get a 4 WHEEL alignment from a reputable shop you should be iight

***ellioke*** · 05-12-2008, 04:53 PM

yeah...I know i need an alignment but i will need to get the camber kits so the camber can be adjusted 1st...then the caster and toe can be adjusted, just having the car alligned with that much negative camber in the rear and positive camber in the front would not do me any good....I just didnt think the camber was going to be affected that much and was hoping to avoid having to get camber kits.....but now i will have to as almost -3 degrees of camber can't be good for the tires....plus I woud like the fronts to be a little negative.....i am thinking like -1 to -1.5 degrees in the front and -1.5 degrees in the rear

Then you definitely need a camber kit. If you wanted adjust ability for you camber then you should have gone with the camber kit in the first place. BTW, you might need 2 bolts for the front for each side if you want to run negative.

yep...I am beginnig to think I would have been better off getting the camber kits to begin with....but I was sooooo hoping that the camber wasn't going to be that farr off...I would have been allright with like -2 degrees in the back...but -3 degrees HOLY Sh**

I had Comptechs/Pro Kit on my car & after a 4 wheel alignment the front camber was within spec but the back was @ -2.4. Camber is not what will kill your tires but the toe being out of wack will. The toe on the back was way off but the shop was able to correct it with the OEM parts that are already on the car. My tires are fine & I ran about 1500 miles with the Comptechs but this past Friday I upgraded to Mugen Sport Suspension. Got the alignment adjusted again & it's facking awesome.
