Default Some Camber and Toe questions..

I just lowered my Z on some Tanabe springs and Koni Shocks.

I was wondering if I needed any camber kit / toe bolts to get my

suspension back to factory specs? Or is the suspension from

factory adjustable for Camber and Toe?

If I do need the kit/bolts, do I need them for front and rears?

Thanks in advanced..

did you get an alignment yet? It would depend on the results of your alignment as to if you would need camber/toe arms/bolts.

Nope, didnt get the alignment yet. But just eyeballing it, I can tell the

rears need some adjusting. So I just wanna kill two birds with one stone

and install the items and align it if need be without aligning it and then

having to install stuff and realigning afterwards.

I just want the rears to have 0 toe and -1.5 camber.

Fronts probably same. Anyway to adjust fronts?

thanks

cant adjust shiat with the OEM front or rear arms. You will need to go aftermarket if you are to far out of spec.

for fronts you need adjustable a arms. If interested, we have the Cusco's in stock

for the rear, if you need it, the SPC camber kit will do the trick for you

If you need front arms the SPL arms are on introductory price right now and will adjust caster and camber.

It's not bad. I run around -2 in the rear but my setup is geared for track performance. A good street/track compromise would be between 1.5 and 2 i'd say.

over 2 degrees is getting up there for street use - the real concern is what your toe ended up at with camber set that high. I'd try to dial it back to around 2 degrees and keep more tire on the road
