14882, Peeps w/ ProKits WITHOUT front camber kits... Posted by Danny95ESI, Jan-14-03 02:01 AM
Hey guys...if you have prokits and didn't get a front camber kit- what is your front camber reading?
I have Sportlines right now and don't have a front camber kit. It's -1.7 camber up front. hella negative imo. just seeing if i can get away with not buying a front camber kit with the ProKits. tia

i only had a 1" drop on H&R OEM's, and was neg 1.1 as well.....My fronts got roasted at that setting, goodluck, IMO get a camber kit.

I just got prokits and did the rear camber kit, how do you measure how far the camber is off? To me it looks just fine.

Malenko, take ur eclipse to a alignment shop. they should print u out a list of ur suspension status (camber, caster, toe, etc).
i have on my front, prokits, -1.5 camber.

Mine was around -1.2x as well. The alignment shop said that was within spec.

thanks guys...time for some pro kits
JZA69, i think you need to get your toes set straight. my -1.7 ran tires fine after an alignment ( though it did cut about 7000 miles off of a 30000 mile tire...which i think isn't too bad considering being so negative) i wish my car was at -1.1

woh, DANNY. you're posting again?? How you been?
Yea, get pro-kits. They rock. I have them with illuminas and I wouldn't trade them for anything.

damn Chad...that's hella good.
why is there such a difference between everyone's camber with the prokits?
