G50: Not enough camber adj with aftermarket arms...

[TBrack]

I am having an issue with my FUCAs on my G50. I have adjusted them to their full extent and still can't seem to get my camber in the specs I want (positive side of the camber spectrum). So in my quest to not have fully lengthened camber arms I have discovered an SPL part that I might need. If anyone else has used this or heard of it please let me know, I plan on ordering it asap. This will be used in conjunction with adjustable arms btw.

"300degree fixed camber compensation kit spaces the upper arm bracket away from the chassis to provide a fixed amount of extra positive camber. This kit will bring camber back to factory spec for cars lowered 1/2" to 3/4" in front.



Recommended for street cars using Eibach or similar lowering springs, that are looking to bring their camber back to factory spec at minimum cost, and do not need the race quality or adjustability of our SPL front upper arms."

If this is for front camber I need asap. Let us know.

Uh, isn't your Q lower than that?

Exactly, I've gone lower than the adjustable arms can go so I need a extra boost of positive camber in the front.

Unfortunately fixing [returning to] oem speced Camber with shims [between upper link mount and body] or adjustable upper links or arms, doesn't correct the camber gain curve.

Same problem with toe or caster, lower changes the angles DESIGNED by oem at normal right height.

Those of us with very mild lowering [1" or less] get by somewhat because the vehicle was designed to have a full load of passengers.550 pounds of passengers correctly positioned will lower the body 1" [146 x2 + 123x2 =538 pounds per inch]..........and most passengers weight more than 135 pounds as does the driver.

With Eibach's the extra 15% stiffness [in the first inch] actually help with FAT Americans allowing up to 155 pounds per occupant before that extra inch of lowering occurs.

Japan uses 135 pounds for typical passenger and driver, hopefully you see how weird this is in TODAY's US.

An interesting concept might be to actually lower the 4 mounting bolts to restore the camber angle from shock tower just as one uses shims to restore the toe [inner/outer tie rod] angle. Same with Caster mounting holes by making a new bracket to level the static postion.

Wow I actually understood that. I'm getting better at deciphering your posts.

So what kind of shop should I take it to to get a bracket relocation? I am not sure that is something a layman like myself could do...

Funny, I just ordered the same camber kit last week. I should receive them in a couple of days and I can let you know what I think of them. My G50 is lowered on cali custom springs...not as low as your car.
