how to adjust a camber correction kit

[daltah]

how do you know how much to adjust your camber when installing a kit?also do you really need a allignment when your done because a shop said it would be around 400 buck to do a allingnment on a lowered car and that just seems crazy.

 

[daltah]

come on doesnt anyone know?

Set everything in the middle and take it to an alignment shop. And yeah , 400 is way too much. It cost me 60 dollars to get my car done. And yeah you HAVE to get it aligned. Just call around, Most places will do lowered car but not guarantee it for ever cause of it.

 

[daltah]

so set the camber kit in the middle?


thanks for the help

 

[ECLIPSE4x4]

Yeah, but like I said. You STILL HAVE to get it aligned.

 

[daltah]

is the ingalls camber kit a good one it says the adjustment is from1.25-3.0 so do i set it in the middle between those two?by the way my car is lowered about a inch

 

[ECLIPSE4x4]

I have the ingals in the rear and specialty products off set bushings in the front. Both are good kits.

which kit do you have and where?

Are you running stockers with your coil-overs?

 

[daltah]

i dont have a kit right now but was wondering about ingalls front and rear or sprint also sprint seems to have more adjustment than the ingals and the stockers ques yes

 

[ECLIPSE4x4]

I would get the specialty for the front, roadrace sells them, the ones that are +/- 1 degree. Get the ingallsfor the rear..whole kit.
You need to get some upgraded shocks also.

 

[daltah]

with the shocks does it really matter if their say 5way adjustable or not?because of course the non adjustables like tokico blues are cheaper.and i saw you have neuspeed and im going to get rid of the coilovers so would you say i should go with eibach prokit or neuspeeds

 

[ECLIPSE4x4]

Get the eibach, Mine are ok but I do not believe they are made anymore. If you plan on racing a lot, mainly auto-x then get the adjustables. But if not get the blues. I bought the adjustable because I race and I wanted the adjustabilty.

 

[daltah]

thanks alot for all of your help but the last thing i need to know is if i get the camber kit and get a allingment and in a few months get the prokits and tokico blues will i have to adjust and get a allignment done again?because the prokits are a 1.2 drop and my coilovers are all the way up but it still sits around 1 inch lower than stock

 

[ECLIPSE4x4]

Yes....

 

[daltah]

the ingalls camber kit for the back is only a 1 degree of adjustment. is that anough if my car is lower around 1 inch to 1.3 inches

 

[ECLIPSE4x4]

one degree is quite a bit.

 

[daltah]

how much was your camber off in the back and front?how many degrees did you have to adjust

 

[daltah]

are the anchor bolts all that is needed in the camber kit or do i have to get control arms and brackets ect....

 

[ECLIPSE4x4]

you need to fill out your car info again. Do you have a 1 or 2G?

 

[daltah]

i have a 2nd gen and its off -1/2 in the front and -1 1/2 in the back

 

[daltah]

for the 15.00 rear camber kit what size bolt and how many washers would i need to fix a - 1 1/2
