i was just wondering what is an effective way to add negative camber to the rear of an EG. thanks.

 

a rear camber kit should do the job.

 

i thought camber kits were to "correct" the camber. i want to add more negative camber to my set up, so i can tuck some wider wheels.

 

The rear camber kits for the EG/EK/DAs are all basically the same, and can +/- camber

this is cause they are fully adjustable.

rear shim kits, can only add positive camber

thank you sir...

 

I could go into more detail...

The rear shim kit, basically moves the fixing point on the chassis of the rear upper control arm, outward... thus adding positive camber

A rear camber kit, replaces the rear upper control arm with an adjustable piece, that is normally shorter - when setup at max negative camber - than the oem stock one.

see (mfactory rear camber kit):


the ends are basically bolts, which you could screw out to add positive camber, or screw in to add negative camber... the pic shows them at max negative camber, i think...

 

alright thanks. does anyone know what is the max neg camber these camber kits can add?

Adding negative camber to fit wheels?

 

yeah people do it for looks...

nothing wrong with that..

but i also know some people do it to fit wider rear wheels on s2ks...

 

get some smaller wheels

Thanks for contributing to this thread

So would a camber kit be able to add neg camber to the front suspension as well? I would assume so...

Yes, any front camber kit with an adjustable length arm (like skunk2 UCAs) can increase negative camber, in addition to reducing it. How much, will vary by brand, and your best bet would be to call each manufacturer and ask to see if it will fit your needs.

For example, a friend of mine couldn't get more than 0.8* more negative camber (compared to the stock arm, not in total) with his Ingalls kit. The adjuster ran out of adjustment around -2.3* (was at -1.5* on the stock arms at his ride height).

I'm using SPC UCAs on my 00 DC2, and am sitting at -4* of front camber. The Ingalls sliding UCA bushings did not make me happy, in that they didn't allow enough negative camber, and they screwed with caster.
