24761, Interesting observation...
Posted by davo345, Jul-15-04 07:15 AM
I just re-lowered her with sportlines and AGX's...and let me just say I'm SLAMMED, and yet the ride is comfy.

The camber in the rear is pretty rediculous, so I am indeed going to look into getting a kit. But I noticed something. If I did adjust the camber so that the wheel was in the correct position(brining the top of the wheel outward), it looks like it would be hitting the inside lip of my fender. Would this happen? Is there a remedy to make this not happen?

(I have 17" wheels; 215 tires)

well i have the same setup, minus agx's, and i also have the cheap mod for the camber and its still horrible back there. I also have 17's and 215 series tires and if i were to straighten them out the tires would rub for sure if i hit a bump. Live with a little bad camber imo.

i ran into the same problem but looking at the camber specs believe or not i have 1.6 negative camber and it's in spec. sounds like bullshit but that's what the specs called 4. so stick with 1.6 or better and you should be fine.

i found that as well about 2 months ago. i took a cuttin wheel to that lip under the fender and cut it out. i just followed that flat lip, if you run ur hand under the fender you'll feel it, and i cut from front of the fender to the rear. just be careful not to cut to close to the fender where its rolled.

you also have to remember that when you correct teh camber you will also be raising your car up a lil bit. So it may not be as close as you think when all is said and done.
