#14637, "Prokits + Camber"


          

Hey guys, i was just wondering if anyone knew where I could buy some Prokits and Ingalls' Front and Rear Camber kit for cheap. Well, not cheap, but like, cheaper than other places. TIA

When using the Eibach Pro-kits, you will not need a camber kit for your fronts. Only our rears are off camber. Instead of using a high-price camber kit, simply buy a longer bolt and some washers and put in on. If you don't want to go through the trouble of trial and error (amount of washers to add), buy RRE's rear camber kit.

Hmm so if my front camber is out of spec, does that mean my coilovers are set lower than the prokits in front? I always thought my fronts were pretty high...here's a pic:

-1 off spec or just -1 camber? remember that our camber is negative to begin with.

I think anything above -2 is within spec.

Acutally, fronts are ideally 0 in front, -1 in rear. So less than -1 in front is okay, and less than -2 in rear is okay. My fronts are -1.75 and rears are -3.

Specialty products has proper camber adjustment now.. instead of moving the pivot out, they lengthen the arm with an adjustable ball joint.

I got rid of my lowered suspension cause it messed with the geometery too much. Specialty products makes the eibach kit.. and it's cheaper emoji

and yes you should get your camber adjusted.. and not "laser" aligned either.. they are rarely accurate.. you can't beat the old boys with the lights and mirrors.. guaranteed accurate.. unlike the lasers which get knocked about.

Our suspension is very complex.. the camber rise rate is also in relation with caster change.. again.. something that probably goes over a lot of people's heads, but stock height is ideal "mechanically".. lowering the car is good, but it throws the mechanics of how the suspension works out the window.

Try the new ball joint adjuster.. it's the best way emoji
