I already have a skunk2 front camber kit. (And I will replace the oem ball joint boot)

Now, I need to consider about the rear kit.

1. Anyone can give me advice that which brand is the best?

(I won't consider to buy skunk2 rear kit.)

2. Where is more cheapest for the alignment in san francisco?

Thanks all kindly guys ~~~~

 

i have the omnipower rear camber kit (not the shim kit) and no complaints here, fully adjustable, great quality. 2 thumbs up

 

Why not just get a shim kit?

 

shim kit, one washer is around 0.5 degree

If I need to adjust 1.3 or 1.6 or more, how to do with this slim kit?<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by JDMKid05 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Why not just get a shim kit?</TD></TR></TABLE>

 

you could just add more washers

 

one washer is 0.5 degree, 1.5 degrees needs 3 washers.

How about 1.3 degrees, how to calculate it?<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by JDMKid05 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">you could just add more washers</TD></TR></TABLE>

Why would you need it adjusted to that exact of a level?

 

Before alignment, we don't know how many degrees need to adjust.

If I install this rear shim kit, it won't make sure the wheel perfectly to adjust the correct 0 degree if need to adjust +/- 1.2, 1.3 or 1.4 (example only)

i wouldnt go cheap and get washers. thats just me.

i bought the sprint rear camber kit which replaced the entire arm. and is adjustable to i dont know 4 degrees.....

perfect kit in my opinion or any kit which replaces the entire arm.

i have the front ingalls and they work like shlt. thats what happends when u go cheap. instead of buying the complete kit, i went for the cheaper one which didnt replace the arm and guess what, everytime i hit a big dip, my ball joint or whatever hits my strut tower cauing two BAD dents.

Why would you want 0 degrees of rear camber? The washers or shims (with longer bolts if necessary) will be perfectly sufficient, and I really wouldn't consider it "going cheap", but simply not spending money unnecessarily.

 

That's mean, your opinion is sprint rear camber kit which is a good choice?

It's better than using a shim kit?

Alignment is for making the wheel go straight, right?

If my wheels need to adjust +1.2 degrees, how to use shim kit to adjust this situation?

A certain amount of negative camber is desirable in almost all cases. If your rear camber is -1.2 degrees, you don't need any correction at all. You really won't have an issue using the washers or shims, but if you'd prefer to spend $100+ to achieve essentially the same results, you're certainly entitled to do so. One thing I would suggest doing before you begin modifying the suspension is researching different setups and the effects that various adjustments can produce.

 

revo technica camber kit

 

one of the best is SPC rear camber kit.


one of the best places I've seen that has good service is http://www.autoinnovations.com in terms of alignment.

Located in Milpitas, CA and they do alignments faily decent price. Definitely a great deal since their alignment rack is tuner friendly with a low degree ramp for those lowered vehicles.

Even better is that they also adjust camber if you have the camber kits and are very aware of what they are doing.

 

Unless your car is 3 inches lowered i wouldnt even use any type of rear camber correction b/c a good alignment equals perfect rear tire wear on a lowered car.

How do you figure 1 washer is .5 degree camber. You do know they make washers in different thincknesses, I'm sure i can use 1 thinker washer and get 1 degree of camber or what not.

 

I am pretty much barely any fender room inbetween my tire and fender.


I have 1.8 and 2.1 degrees of negative in the rear of my car.

the front has 2.5 and 2.3 degress of negative in the front.


I dunno what the affects are on my tires yet but I will know soon enough. I already got Skunk2 Front camber kits (new pro ones) and planning to buy the SPC rear ones.


The only reason i would see not to use a shim kit is if you are planning to readjust your camber. I like my camber to be exactly the same on both sides so I want it to be dialed in correct to my specific settings at the alignment machine. If you just want to lower the camber to closest to zero, then the shim kit is much better if you have less than 1.5 degrees of camber.

 

I have bought omni rear shim kit..... and skunk2 front camber kit....

Now I am considering about the lowering springs......

Which is good for my car with oem shocks? eibach, h&r or tanabe or.......

 

why I need to serious about the rear camber kit. It's because if I drive my car to make a alignment, I need to spend money, why not adjust the front and rear? If I install front camber kit only and make a alignment, It's same price, right?

 

washers worked for me

 

I found out now lowering eating rear tires not much, but front tires are eating inside so much.

bad toe will wear your tires out faster than camber will ever do.

If you are really worried about tires, front camber kit and rear shim kit will work wonders for you. Just make sure to go to an alignment shop that will do camber kit adjustments too.
