Default Camber Problem......Need Help!!!

OK here's the problem...I have a '99 Coupe with Neuspeed Race Springs with camber kit all the way around and even after a 4 wheel alignment my rear wheels are still cambered....the rear wheels are tucked and they are lined up as far as they can without rubbing the fender....the question is what can I do to be able to straighten them up some more? Roll the fenders? How do I roll the fenders? How far can a fender be rolled without lookin' like shizah? Thanks in advance.......

If your camber kit is adjustable, adjust it till it fits, or ride higher or get fenders rolled. Some body shops do it, they have a machine and if the paint cracks they touch it up for ya.

Leave it as is unless you want to roll the rear fender lips. And if you do decide to go that route, don't try the baseball bat method. Get a shop to roll or trim it off then you can further adjust your rear camber. But as I said, I would just leave it and rotate tires more often.

does anyone know if there is any way i can purchase a short rear lower control arm to pull the bottom of the wheel closer to the car instead of pushing the top out...the top can't go out anymore b/c it is tucked and it will hit the rear fender....i think if i can get a shorter rear lower control arm it may solve my problem....thanks in advance....

like i said the rear can't be stood up straight anymore b/c it is tucked and it has already been aligned...it's not the alignment that is off it's the camber.....

So adjust it. Or get your money back and use the washer trick.

There is a company that makes shorter rear LCA's, but I cant think of the name right now.

I have -1.5 degrees of rear camber and I love it.

Camber is your friend. Learn it, love it.

there is nothin' wrong with the camber kit...my wheels are tuckin' in the back....that's why i can't fix the camber on them and that's why i am wonderin' if someone makes a adjustable lower control arm so i don't have to roll my fenders or raise my car up
