Eibach/Specialty Products

$35 total for both kits(one each side)

www.nopi.com

+/- 3/4 of a degree

Eibach Pro Kit, Tokico Struts, RRE rear camber kit(+2 degrees)

I adjusted the fronts out the full +3/4 of a degree and it was barely within specs. I had the toe adjusted to compensate for the slight negative camber it still had and the tires are wearing perfectly.....almost a year now.

i have the ingalls front kit, adjusts up to 3 degrees. i got it from a place called island motorsports i think it was $90 per side. heres the thing, theres only a certain drop you can go and still ocrrect the camber. you arent there yet from the looks of your pic but stay tuned tomorrow for pics of my car with the undriveable drop, ill be posting them tomorrow. heres the thing, when you lower, you lower the body of the car but the upper control arm remains in the same location. so...when you go past 4" what happens is, if you correct the camber (by sliding the control arm out with a camber kit) when you lower the car down off the jack, the arm will be so far out from the car to correct the camber, that the arm wont clear the inside of the fenderwell and teh cars weight will be resting on the control are which you have just wedged between uts mounts and the car itself. i did this when i went 5" low and could not figure out why my car was bouncing insanely. well, its because i was riding essentially without struts and springs and the car was absorbing bumps through the control arm. so you have to make a gamble compromise. go a certain drop and correct camber to 0 (with me it was a 4" drop and 0 camber) or you can go with a 5" drop and have some negative camber, but you will have to try several combinations, so if your paying a shop to do it, forget about it, your looking at hundereds of dollars. you look like a 3" drop now from your pic, you can go lower as i did, but i also was rubbing tire on the inside of the fenderwell (next to the pulley) and also on the fender itself, even when i wasnt turning. you shall see what i mean when you see how much tire i was tucking in my pics tomorrow

hey cyan, what if one was to take a cutting disc and cut out some of the area so the control arm could have clearance?? would that cut through to the metal inside the engine area or is that a separate sheet? if it was seperate it would be a great idea for you guys with extreme drops. kinda like the trucks with bags cutting out thier fenders and $h!t to clear thier tires. just a thought.

yeah it could be cut i just havent gotten around to it, that metal is thick as hell though, i tried a hammer and couldnt faze it. its the metal on the outer edge of the fenderwell not the edge next to the firewall.
