on my 93 lude i have adj coilovers and ive had it lowered for about a month now i still got about another inch to go. although im sittin low as it is. ive noticed the back is starting to show some negative camber and looks almost like the wheel is starting to go on a 45. i was gonna pick up a camber kit but my buddy said theres nothing you can do about the back??????? is this true. also he pointed out that the nose of the back tires are pointing inward a bit. wtf. i went for an alignment. what do i do?

How low is that?

The nose pointing inward is toe, and it should be set at zero I think. You got the alignment after the drop, right?

well the coilovers let u go down 4" i went down 3. but anyways the camber is not my main concern bcuz it wont wear the tire. although i know the toe will. and yes i got an alignment after the drop and i went back to the guy today and he said tomorrow he will put it back on the machine to check if everything is correct becuase he cant tell from looking.

 

They do make rear kits too. E.g., http://www.ultrarev.com/ecart/...=1995

Excessive camber will also give you wear problems as well. The inside of the tire will be fubared. 3 inches is a hell of a lot.

 

thanx man. ill see what the alignment guy says uf its needed im gonna do it.

you'd be better off defining what "excessive" is before we relate them to wear problems. excessive to me is 3.5 degrees or more.

~2 degrees is nothing and not really worth dealing with unless you're trying to adjust camber for better balance/handling.

and yep there are rear camber kits so if you're so inclined, you're welcome to get one.

 

just get your toe adjusted/alignment since your car isnt that low.

 

Well if his wheel is looking like it is at 45*, I'd say it sounds excessive lol. I have no experience with it since I don't have a huge drop but I have heard of several slammed people complaining about camber wear.

 

its not on a 45 sorry. that was an exaggeration. its just enough to notice. the top if the tire is slightly inward while the bottom looks normal. but my toe is off for sure. those aholes did a hack job of an alignment.

 

they do make rear camber kits, sounds like you need one. also, lowering past 2.5 inches is not reccomended. you may not be able to adjust the toe for sitting that low among other problems. if you have a cheap set of coil overs, you're probably looking at bottoming out often.
