I had 1.8" lowering springs on my S14 and I had the camber set to -.75 in the front. I put some (crappy ***) K-Sports with camber plates on and lowered it petty low (which I thought would make my camber more neg). I took my car to my friend shop today to get an aliment. With RUCA's and toe arms we got the rear to where I wanted but the front is all out of wack. With a good 3" drop and my camber plates maxed out all the way, we could only get -1.65 on the driver side and -.6 on the passenger side. What the hell. I thought that lowering the car plus camber plates I could achieve the specs the I wanted. Why can't I run lower camber in the front with camber plates and a 3" drop?

P.S K-Sports SUCKS, dont wast your money. luckly I got mine for free.

I want more camber and all we could pull was -1.6 on the left side and -.6 on the right. I want -2.0 camber in the front.

Tie rods are for toe and tension rods are for caster

Oh, I didn't know you wanted more NEGATIVE camber.

Are the camber plates from ksport or are they from tein or something? did they come with the coilovers or did you buy them separately? did you have camber plates on your lowering springs before?

ive heard nothing but bad things about ksport probucts and dont know too much about suspension, but i would just start over with a reputable suspension company.

I wonder if you can find half moon camber plates just like Stance has. They will allow you to have camber you want.
