Right now I have tananbe gf210's and recently i looked at my tires and they are all dead....so im thinking about raising the car just a bit with the hotchkis springs so I can get the camber back into spec a little easier. I am also running the cusco a-arms and plan to add a vertex lip kit. So im thinking raising it for that reason will help with any scraping in the future as well. STL roads are the best.

Just wondering, if most of the time, hotchkis users run into camber problems or not.

I have searched and see that some people have a lot of luck with them...but just looking for some more direct responses.

Thanks for the help and patience.

 

-1.6 in front -1.5 rear with hotchkis, no problems at all. Everything is within specs.

 

nice...im wondering why things vary so much from car to car with the same suspension...it sucks.

 

Nissan dealer was able to get the camber on my car back to within factory specs after dropping it on Hotchkis. I don't recall the exact angles off the top of my head.

 

thanks....i just dont know wut to do yet...cuz I could either jsut get the SPC rear camber arms and adjust the camber...or get the hotchkis and get it realigned and by doing that, my car will have a little more road clearance for when I put my vertex kit on.

 

The reason I went w/ Hotchkis is because people said it could be aligned back to spec...wrong. I talked to the people at WCN and they told me that it varies from car to car. Basically, the front cannot be adjusted at all, the car just wasn't designed that way. The rears have verrry little adjustability. Some cars are lucky where you could get the fronts to adjust back to spec and some don't. Justin at WCN told me that it has to do with the upper mounting joints (the rubber part) on the stock A-arm. Good luck, imo, I would just get some upper a-arms and toe bolts/camber arms.

Edit: Oh, some alignment places can get it back to spec because they bend your stock parts...I wouldn't recommend that though, any time you mess with the structural rigidity of a stock component somehow it will come back to haunt you later.

 

WCN was able to get my rears back in spec because I have SPC adjustable arms and toe bolts. But the fronts are -1.4 now but to be in spec, needs to be -1.3 or more... so 0.1 isn't a big deal to me right now.

 

ok...thanks for the help guys...i think ill just invest in the SPC arms instead of switching the tanabe gf210s to hotchkis and having to spend even more money down the road for the camber kits
