camber????

[240pr06]

hows it goingim in the process of putting on my coilovers,5lug and wheels, i have stance gr+ coils and some 17x9 +12 gram lights all around, my only suspension components as of right now are the coilovers. so my question how do i set the camber on my coilovers i understand that on the front i have the camber plates but i would like more information on how to properly set them as well as the rear camber the reason because i want to lower the car a bit more and i need to camber them a little bit more. the car will get an alignment as soon as im done with everything or should i take it to the alignment shop and have them do it??thanks for any help.

Rear Upper Control Arms... buy some. splparts.com

Exactly. Buy some. You're going to be way out of spec with stock arms. And don't cheap out like everyone else does.

thanks for the input guyswell i understand that for the rear i need the rucas, but on the front with the camber plates can i set them myself and how do i do this or should i go to an alignment shop??

You CAN set it yourself. But if you want exact specs or even back to stock take it to an alignment shop.

ok thanks, the car will not be back to stock specs as its going to be sitting a lot lower ive searched to see if there is a how to on setting camber on the plates but no luck just wondering if you guys could help with that, thanks

there are four hex bolts at the top of the plate, you just loosen those and slide the shock body in or out.

If you take it to an alignment shop they can get your car back to stock alignment even though the car is lowered. As far as toe, camber and caster are concerned if you have the proper arms.

ok so my car is lower and i can have stock alignment but in order to fit the 17x9 wheels under the fender i need neg. camber right?? so just play around with those hex bolts on the camber plates and get them fitted under the fender and then to the alignment shop??thanks for the help

well it depends on the off set of the wheels. But yeah you could do that. Depending on the shop tho too.

yep. that, rolled fenders, and a stretched tire spec.

Set camber, take to alignment shop. done.

or, tell the alignment guy what camber specs you want.

thanks for all of the input guysso the wheels are 17x9 +12 all around, rolled fenders and all 4 have 215/45/17 tires which is a moderate stretch so i put the wheels on and just play around with the camber on the plates?? which one of the hex bolts do i move for more neg camber which is i believe i will need to fit the wheels up front??? i just need some instruction on how to use the camber plates as there was none on the instruction from stance or any that i can find online, also is there any way i can run anymore camber with stock rucas in the back just until i can get the better adjustable ones in a couple of weeks??? thanks for all of the help

You will get natural camber from lowering but other than that, no.
