so i recently put a camber kit on my ek hatchback and shortly after i noticed the front wheels were both pointing outwards, didnt think much of it as the car is a shell and i thought the alignment may have been off before just didnt notice it

then i put a camber kit on my dc2 and boom! same damn thing, both front wheels are turned outwards, whats the deal here?

 

You need to get an alignment. You can't install suspension parts and expect them to be dead on, the whole reason you buy suspension components is to have the adjustability missing in the OEM setup so don't be suprrised that they don't come set up from the factory.

 

You don't need a camber kit. But if you insist on having one, yes you will have to get an alignment after installation. Be careful driving to the shop like that though!!

 

when you adjust camber, it changes the toe.

its the reason why tires wear when you change ride height or lower your car. because camber is directly affected by ride height, which directly affects the toe. and it is the TOE that wears the tires after lowering.

why do you want to adjust camber?

 

i know i need an alignment, thats the second stop for both the cars after getting titled.

camber kit so i can have adjustable camber as the tires are a bit oversized on both cars.

just didnt expect it to throw the camber off that bad i mean visualy you can tell easily

 

it threw it off because it wasnt set to stock specs when you installed it, the poor mans alingment way would be what i have done before which is use a tape measure and measure distances from/to a couple different points with the stock parts installed and then when you install the new stuff just set everyhting so you get back to your previous measurements, its not perfect but its good enough to drive around n untill u get a real alingment
