2g gst rear camber fix

[dsmcrazy267]

On my rear wheels on my gst I have 2.5 negative camber. I looked and saw STM rear camber kit and saw it was basically a grade a screw, lock tight washer, and washers. How many washers do you recommend using to fix the camber? If this helps the suspension is Tein s springs on tokico hp thanks!

I run 4 washers in the rear and have about 1.4 negative camber which is just in spec.

I'm also trying to fix my rear camber, where exactly do these bolts and washers go? I searched and never could find an answer.

Nice vid! Thanks for that. You happen to know size of bolts? Want to buy them at my job. Job seems real easy

 

[dsmcrazy267]

Well I have too much positive so I'm going to drop down to 3 washers instead of 4

How can you tell? Do you guys just eyeball it? I can tell mine is negative a bit in the rear and still have stock suspension. I'm thinking the 18s is what messes it up. I think I will just buy the STM kit since they have free shipping

My dads friend at his alignment shop has a tool I used to tell. The kit I made ended up being 15 dollars. J saved 10 bucks by making it

Perfect guide snowboarder! I'm assuming the bolt sizes are the same for gst and gsx right?

The one that STM sells, it looks like bolts you just find in Home Depot, the head size the same as stock or a 17mm head size?

 

[snowborder714]

The bolt size should be the same.

Yes, you can go get bolts and washers at your favorite hardware supply store. Just keep in mind you want at least a grade 8.8 bolt, preferably a 10.9 if you can find it.

As for head size, if you get a non-stainless bolt, the head size should be the same in most cases. Although you probably can't find a stainless bolt with the required hardness.

What kind of noises? How much is it lowered? Whats your tire size?

Just lowered about 1.2. Tires are 225/45/17. Alot of rubbing noises

Just an FYI...I wouldn't be sweating your geometry when your handling is severely compromised because of your ride height. Its not the best looking stance... but its a better car handling wise.

Dang this guy used a lot of washers. I only fit in 6 for each because the bolt wasn't long enough to fit more. (and I used the materials that vfaq.com used)

 

[tazndrew04]

just get longer bolts. Did you buy the m10x1.25x30? that could be your issue or just buy the kit from stm its a reasonable price to me

Kind of an Old thread but I didn't want start a new one. I just installed my Eibach sportlines last night and it dropped the rear down pretty far. I used to fit three fingers between the tire and the fender now I can't even fit one and the negative camber is crazy!! It doesn't rub, how bad is it to keep it this way? It won't hurt anything besides uneven tire wear right? I will probably end up rolling the inner fender and adding the shims as shown above. I would upload pics but I'm on my phone and I don't know how!! Haha
