camber adj. problems when lowering your car ?????

[musclesgabe]

ok i have intrax springs and tokico struts in the mail. i also have adj. t/c rods from pdm-racing.com in the mail too.now my question is, should i be worried about camber problems? is this going to make my tires wear away wrong if i don't do the right adjustments? any help on this would be great. i don't wanna have everything off when im changing my struts and springs and wish i would have done one more step.

just make sure that you get an allignment when your done installing your new springs. the shop will square your camber up to the new height.

[musclesgabe]

is this the same cost as a reg allignment?

front camber is NOT adjustable... You either need eccentric bolts or enlarge the strut holes or get a camber adjustable plate.

And yes, when you lower your car your camber will be off and it will increase your tire wear esp on the inner side.

[musclesgabe]

where can i get a camber adjustable plate, and is this something that i could do myself when im doing my struts and springs?

[musclesgabe]

what about these Eccentric Bolts for Camber Adjustment from http://www.pdm-racing.com/products/suspension.html ? are those tough to put on?

[angelthepig]

get camber plates & adjustable RUCA. car dropped more than 2", my car had -3.9 degree camber in the rear ate up my tires inner tread in 2months less

i have same problem too.. i bought tein camber plates and im about to buy some rucas to fix the problem.... it ate up my $320 275/40/17's in 4 months

[musclesgabe]

holy crap rucas are expensive. ok, so if i don't do anything my tires will go to ****, but isn't there a cheaper way to fix this problem? what about the camber adj kit from pdm link up top?

[grimple1]

http://www.splparts.com has camber plates for sale 169 and they're a sponsor.

So the rear wheels are camber adjustable? Is that correct?

[musclesgabe]

what about the 30 dollar camber adj kit from pdm

[ILikeMy240sx]

that camber adj kit is just eccentric bolts I believe.

RUCA, yes its expensive but worth it.

[musclesgabe]

ok lets say i got the 169 ones, what about my rear tires?

[ILikeMy240sx]

Im not understanding your question....

Ok, the 169 you are speaking of is for fronts or you can do with eccentric bolts.. you need RUCA for rear camber.

[musclesgabe]

****, im sorry, im new to everything except the struts and springs. lemme read up alittle more on this and ill reply on here again.

[musclesgabe]

ok so for the fronts, i can get the eccentric bolts from pdm and ill be fine, and it will be a cheep way to correct the problem, but for the rear, im screwed and im going to have to spend at least 150 on rucas right? well i have no clue about correcting camber adj so i dont' know how hard the labor is for this job. i can easily do my struts and springs. is this camber adj i something i should get a shop to do?

[cyrus240sx]

all it is is replacing the upper arms in the rear suspension, putting them in shouldnt be more than 1 hour of labor, and whatever an alignment costs, id suggest having a shop do it... then they can align it too

[Thrwnsprkz]

ya... imma need a set too, loljust lowered my car about 2" and my rear camber is about -3 deg

fronts adjustable so no prob there tho

[lrb_2000]

suspension stuff is pretty straight forward to do yourself, plus you'll learn a lot.. but a shop will have to align everything... I put tein s tech springs, 1.5" drop in front, and 1.2" drop in back and the shop got it back to factory specs without me having to buy anything extra...

why not just get these for the front? or something similar? $26 for 1.75 degrees adjustment on the front.. http://www.drivewire.com/perfo....html

and for the rear,

I dunno about the quality of the last ones though.

edit: those adj. rear control arms are for s13's
