8716, DIY front camber adjustment?
Posted by mcgyvr, Apr-19-02 05:11 AM
can you just oval out the holes by the shock tower (the bolts that the neuspeed bar hooks up to) and slide the control arm/assembly out our in if you need to?? That would sure be alot cheaper than a 200 dollar camber kit.

not a bad idea but you cant oval them out, the force of the car would just slide them back in. you would have to drill two new holes. this is the same way camber plates work. i would try drilling new holes but remember your camber correction wont be exact, you may even go positive by accident. give ti a shot on one side and if it doesnt work no harm done.

wait, nevermind, it wont work, sliding the upper conrol arm out doesnt affect the upper mount location. if it did, my center strut piston would be moved so far outside it wouldnt fit through the hole in the top ring anymore.

Be safe and do it right, get the ingalls kit, it works excellent. Yes, its kinda expensive, but for the best safety, best tire wear, and the best handling, go with the kit made for it. At least i would anyway..
