#33182, "Rear camber mod"


          

I am instaling the HP bvlue setup, I bought my rear camber kit From STM motorsports. The kit I bouhgt comes with 6 washers but I was reading the article on the $15 camber mod it states only 4 washers does anyone know how many washers to use with my setup.

With the 15 dollar camber mod, its 4 washers per bolt. the setup you bought most likely has thicker/custom manufactured washers for this purpose.

Just an FYI..

It's not necessarily 4 washers with the $15 mod. That is merely a suggestion, and I think it's more accurate to say 4-5 washers.

I did the mod and found that 4 washers was not enough. After removing all the parts again and adding an additional washer, I got the results I was looking for. I run Tokico HP struts and Eibach Pro Kit springs.

Sounds like there is no set amount just trial and error, thanks

Exactly. Because every washer is not made with the same thickness. You cannot expect someone to tell you to use a certain number of washers from the hardware store to get you on target. Additionally, small inconsistencies with your suspension setup (worn bushings, etc) will differ from the next guys. Put some in, check the camber, and repeat.

Yeah, you need to play with it a bit. I have the kit from Road/Race that has spacers. This was fine in the beginning but after time passed and they settled, I've added a couple more washers.
