6146, Had the alignment done with $15 rear camber mod!
Posted by espilcEGS, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
I put my Tokico illuminas and Tokico 1.5 spring on Thurday. Only took 3 hours, but i had a lift and air tools. At the same time i put on the $15 rear camber mod. I took it to Mitsubishi this morning and 2 hours and $97 later it was back to within factory specs. So to everyone with the big camber question, my car has 1.5 springs, $15 rear camber mod, nothing up front, and is back to spec.

after springs settle in they tend to get lower and just always pay attention to the wear on your tires just in case because tires are a bitch to replace moneywise

My setup is close to yours, with the same results, except I had prokits. Nothing up front was required to put the camber back to stock. With performance tires, the alignment guy did say to be mindful to rotate your tires every oil change.

I too just had my alignment done and have some more questions. From this board, I understand the rear camber should be -1.0 My spec sheet that the shop gave me says that the preferred camber is -1.67 with min -2.17 & max -1.17 With the $15 camber mod, my left rear is now at -1.92 and my right is -2.16 which they told me to add another washer to the right rear to get it with-in range. Am I just reading too much into this or do I have something to worry about with the numbers I listed? Also, my front left is at -.75 with preferred listed at -.33 and my front right is at -1.42 which the shop suggested I get an adjustment kit for just the right front. I am really getting confused here. Should I go to Mitsubishi and have them check it or am I all good?

shit i'd say you're good to go mang....haha u think i'm within spec?! Ya right! Mine's so off it's aint even funny, you're a helleva lot better off than me. I wouldnt worry about a .10 of a degree since u'd only have to pay again to get it re-aligned after u adjust the rear again. Just do what home skillet said up above and watch ur tire wear and rotate every oil change....(which is something i need to do BADLY on payday, ish! )

I just had mine done. My toe was the main problem, I went through 2 brand new parada's in 4,000 miles. I have tenzo 1.5 inch drop. I did the rear camber mod. The results are, Toe: in 1 inch on the rears, out .25 inch front, Camber: -1 to -2 rear, and -2 to -3 fronts. Are the fronts going to be a problem?
