camber questions

[mkory]

i know that since my car has been lowered, i need to correct the camber. so i need to know what the difference is between the adjustable upper arms and camber correcting bolts. (or something like that) its the difference of spending $40 or $300 to me, so i really do need to know what the differences are so i dont end up buying both.

Well, in the rear you can adjust camber stock, but, depending on how much it is lowered, you may not have enough adjustment built in. In that case, you would need some kind of adjustable control arm.

In the front, stock, there is no camber adjustment, but with the strut suspension, you don't gain negative camber when you lower the car. If you want to adjust camber up front, you will need camber bolts, or camber plates.

ok, so the wheels in question are the rear wheels, so i guess i need the adjustable upper arms... thx... now will any aftermarket adjustable arm have enough adjustment or do i need to look for something special?

No the wheels in question are your fronts you will need some kind of adjustment for the front. If you didn't lower it more than two inches you can just buy the bolts they'll work fine.

the front does gain camber but not nearly as much as the rear. you don't need to worry about the front unless you drop the **** out of the car.

you should be able to adjust the rears enough with any adjustable arm. i would suggest SPL because they are cheap and good.

my car is lowered with eibach prokits (~1.5") and i didn't do anything about the camber and it's not a problem, only like 1.2' F and 1.8' rear.
