Camber Kits

[Hank Scorpio]

Are there any sort of off the shelf camber kits available for our cars? I want a little bit less camber at the front and a little bit more camber at the rear and I think it would drive beautifully.

Anybody found anything?

fairly certain this will work:

however the rear may pose a problem. the rear on that kit is for correction, not for inducing.

you might need to make some custom arms up or something...

There are a few different types of front camber kit available in the US. Any for the Eclipse up to 95-98 will fit a gen 8 VR4. I have these ones on my car similar to these that give +/- caster or camber on the front. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Eiba...ptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

For rear camber, the more you lower the rear end the more camber you get

forget about buying that kit..

might as well go to your local bolt & nut shop to buy the washers as it'll only cost you around $5 for both sides.. as per the front.. the person doing the correction will hate you for it.. as it'll have 2 bolts per side to change.. so that'll also change your caster settings.. which I doubt you want..

get the camber ball joint made by spc or ingalls at least 1 member here have tried it and it works well.. I've got a set at my parents place, waiting for the right time to get it installed..

I know, that's why I need more camber

Seems whiteline MAY have a product that will work on the front. Waiting on an email to confirm though.

whiteline? if they do.. finally!! just make sure its not for the 6G Galant VR4..

also Sartori.. that eibach one is most likely the same as the SPC ones..

You seem to be going about it the other way to most people? When an 8G VR-4 is lowered to have a similar tyre - wheel arch clearance the fronts will start to get a bit of camber, but the rears will normally have about 50% to 100% more camber than the fronts. Considering that a VR-4 runs out of grip at the front first, surely you would want a bit more camber at the front?

^^^ Im guessing he mixed up his words and means more at the front and less at the rear.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Nope. More = make the camber more positive, less = make the camber less positive i.e more negative.

less at the front, more at the rear

 

[unclepaulie]

huh im am confuzzed now

so you want more negative or more positive on the front?

and more neagtive or more positive on the rear?




edit:

wait wait wait, you you want the bring the front wheels in and push the rears out? if so, these kits will do it

 

[steveP]

I think you're inside back upside down!

 

[steveP]

Nope. More = make the camber more positive, less = make the camber less positive i.e more negative.

less at the front, more at the rear

This would only be the case if you were running positive camber, which you're not.

less camber = more positive
more camber = more negative

Rofl this thread is going places... coonfusing places.

If my rears didn't tip in at the top as much as they do I would have not chance of fitting the GTR rims I'm running. As it is I've already hammered in whatever that sharp bit of steel is on the inner guard.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

less camber = more positive
more camber = more negative

See I look at it differently. My maths teacher always told me more was the higher number, therefore the innapropriately large 4wd running 0.5 degrees positive camber has more camber then the bunky Soarer running -1.5 degrees camber.

Either way I want my rears to have increased positive camber over what they currently have (i.e -2.5 degrees to -2 degrees) and my fronts to have more negative camber then they currently have (i.e -.5 degrees to -1.5 degrees) without affecting my daily driving ride height.

 

[steveP]

^^^ But we are talking about negative camber. So less equals more.

 

[bradc]

and more equals less?

 

[Macca]

Either way, is there anything we can buy to correct the camber that doesn't sound as dodgy as spacing a bracket out with washers or is that the only way?

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Haha, basically!

 

[unclepaulie]

im thinkin of gettin some plates made up soon, rather then using washers


thoughts?
