camber and others

[lordnikon_04]

i badly need a camber kit due to the springs that were on the car when i bought it. i need to know though, how well do camber kits and coilovers work in conjunction with each other? am i going to have to adjust the camber every time i adjust the coilover height when i pick some up this spring? also, which is the best kit to buy and where could i find them? thanks.

your basically going to have to get an alignment every time you adjust the ride height.

Camber kits and adjustable coilovers are perfectly compatible. Ingalls is about the best known brand of camber correction kit and is available from several of our supporting vendors and of course, ebay.

As appealing as the thought of instantly adjustable suspension height is, it is not something you will do often. Unless you have your own alignment equipment, you will select the optimum height and leave it there. As Mark mentioned, every height adjustment should be followed by an alignment.

i was planning on leaving it fairly high ride height because of the roads in my town but i am going lower it when i get to the track. i am going to be raising it and lowering it at the track, will i still need to get it aligned after raising it back up to normal height if it's going back to the exact same height? i guess in short, will lowering it for a few hours and then raising it back to the exact same height throw off the alignment? sorry bout the long post.

Probably not but it means you would be racing with suboptimal alignment settings for your race event. Racing, especially autocross, requires different alignment settings than street driving. I usually set my alignment the morning of an autocross event, then set things back (toe mostly) when I get home.

I do something similar. As I'm changing to the Rs, I give each tie-rod about 3/8th of a turn. I undo this when changing back. I used to drop the nose a half inch at the same time; now I leave the nose down all the time. The rear I don't touch.

Awesome thanks guys. one more question, what kind of kits do you guys have and where can i find a tech article for installing them?

Would this be a decent camber kit?
