Hey guys, I searched and I didn't find an answer that I am comfortable with so now I will ask you. I want to remove the negative camber that my car has. I know I know, why in the hell am I doing this? I have a car that I abuse so I need this car to be my everyday, reliable non financially stressful car.

With the frequency that I am having to purchase tires due to the camber and the inability to rotate my fronts and rears due to the staggered fitment of the track model wheels, I need a solution to the camber issue. Am I going to need to purchase some kind of kit or should the alignment shop be able to adjust most of the negative camber out. I am suspecting that the alignment shop isn;t going to be able to take enough out to matter because the car was engineered like this. Sorry for the long post but if I don't figure out something soon my wife is going to start lobbying for me to get rid of the car and I would hate to have to commit some domestic abuse....jk. Thanks for your help.

 

no camber no fun

 

What are your current alignment numbers? How much are you dropped?

 

I guess I should have included some info about the car. I am not dropped at all. I am stock height, stock springs, stock everything suspension. I have an 03 track model.

 

Being stock it shouldn't be that much out. Is it at all four corners or just the rears? If it's just a little they could probably get back in spec. Except the front camber and caster. Which shouldn't be out much any, being not lowered. The rear has little adjustment, but aftermarket kit like (SPC) is only $140 out the door and will fix any rear issues.

 

it's not that bad, i just want to get it close to being straight up and down. What I want to do is get the stock camber out. I guess I'll check out the spl kit.

 

the car was designed from factory to run somewhere around -1.5 degrees of camber at the rear... as most rwd vehicles. Heck look at a BMW X5 with the sport 20"s on them, the rear has some crazy camber.

anyway, it will definitely be detrimental to the way your car will handle and probably lose some stability on certain driving situations... a better suggestion would be to get non staggered tires sizes if you really feel the need to rotate and maximize tread wear.

I ran a 245/40/18 all around when i had my original track wheels and it worked out fine without tripping the VDC.

 

i think i am just going to get it aligned properly when i replace the tires next week and see where I am. I think my car had some extra camber adjustedin by the previous owner. Thanks for all the input thought guys, I appreciate it.
