Some Camber Questions 2G AWD

[EclipseTrbo420A]

Ok, I lowerd my car awhile ago and Just today installed my camber kits( front, rear )which is no big deal because my new suspension has all of 20 miles on it because of winter storage. I got the ebay camber kit that has 1.25-3 inch correction ( positive only ). Well after loweing the car down and taking it around the block It seems as if my front wheels are almost standing straight up if not maybe positive. I havnt had it on level ground to check if it looks too positive or to close to bing positive, but I swear I had more than 1.25 degrees of Negative camber. My question is If, with the added 1.25 degree's my wheels have zero camber then would it be ok to just run the stock arms and have about 1.25 degrees of camber? Im NOT AutoXing now or in the funture so I dont need those kinds of specs I just want a nice street car wiht good tread ware. Ill post some picture I have of this stuff after I get them on the computer. Thanks guys. Any and every suggestions you have, I'll take. Thanks. -

If it the fronts truly have 1.25 negative without the camber kit then that's fine. That isn't much at all. For tire wear, toe is MUCH more important, and since you lowered it, get the toe front and rear aligned ASAP.

Yea I know all that stuff about the toe and all, but im kinda pissed I got his kit on today in the icerain and all and its wrong for my car I THINK. Not sure yet though, Im going to take it to a flat surface toamrrow and see what I can do. Maybe Ill drop the front end some more to pull some camber. I still have a bit of clearance and Im using higher profile tires. Maybe Ill try to work something out on the kit so it works for me. Ill get those pics up in a minute

Im kickimg my self in the head over here trying to figure out if turning the kit around will work better for me EX. the opposite way will give the added amount of camber, but wiht some negative adjustability...I think. I have to have this stuff in my hand to beable to make anything of it. I have a couple drawings, but Im still lost anyone got anything thing for this ?

This is the way I have it now.

I had that same kit (gift for christmas) and it was way too much positive camber for me. I installed it and had way positive camber. On top of that, after a day of driving, I found out that mu upper ball joint and a-arm was hitting the bottom of the strut tower as the camber kit jutted it out too much. This could be solved by cutting out some clearance underneath the strut tower, but I found that I didn't need the extra camber that badly.

Installing it backwards would only hurt your situation. It would give you even more negative camber than stock with the adjustability of making it even MORE negative.

I currently have the RRE kit and I couldn't be happier. My front end camber is just barely within spec with it and my car is pretty slammed in the front.

Yea, I quess its more for the guys wiht the 3 inch drop. Im kinda pissed I waited this long to get this done and what not and here its no good. Like I said Ill take some picture tomarrow and see what you guys think, but I dont know they are plretty positive looking haha Thanks for the help. Maybe Ill try and sell it. Thanks.

I'd sell the kit..

I just run ES bushings in front and shims in the rear.

I got tired of it all and just took the kit off haha, While I was in there I threw in some AGX's I got with some prokits in a trade for my stock springs and GR-2's. I had the Drop-zone shocks for 44 miles haha, but they were great. I think ill enjoy the adjustability though.
