okay i just got done my conversion. but i cant some to find out why the passenger side wheel is tilled in and the drives side isnt. here is my set-up H&R lowering springs on GR-2 shocks and the 99 GSR front and rear disc conversion. the drop is only 1.5 so i don't know what to do. do you guys thing i need a camber kit for the front? i also did a 4 wheel alignment and my camber isn't that far off. the rights so i don't know what's up? i am stuck. can any one here give me some pointers on what to do next? thanx

 

No EG/DC needs a camber kit in the front. We're lacking for suspension travel, and a camber kit removes some more of what little is left after lowering.

Some degree of uneven camber is expected. The car doesn't have a 50/50 weight distribution side to side, so it doesn't sit level, so the alignment will be slightly off left to right.

If you car has uneven camber:
- Check to make certain that the shocks were evenly seated into the forks. If one is pushed further into its fork than the other, you'll have an uneven ride height, which could result in uneven camber.
- Check the knuckles, UCAs, LCAs, and radius rods for damage. Something could be bent, it happens.
- Check you springs, make certain that you used the correct ones up front on both sides.
- Check your bushings. I suppose badly eaten up UCA bushings could allow more negative camber on that side, but a couple of damaged bushings could also give enough wiggle room for one side to be off.

Thats just off the top of my head. I'm sure that are additional things to check.

For reference, my 00 GSR had -2.4* -2.1* of camber after lowering. Nothing is bent (as far as I can tell), but thats just how it sat. It also drove perfectly straight that way. I suppose an alignment tech would be the best person to ask, "How much cross camber is too much?", but I wouldn't worry about anything less than 0.4* or so.

 

well, when i went to go do my alignment the drive side camber was at -1.6 and the other side was -2.1 off also the caster i think on the drives side is a bit off. with that kind of camber will that effect my tires life? and if so by how much? the car drives straight but the only thing that i am worried about is my steering, it acts a bit funny. it doesn't feel right. i let two people test drive my car, the first person said that i needed a camber kit to fix the passenger side camber and the other people who has the same set-up as mines said that it was find and that i didn't need a camber kit. i am not sure but i think the person i went to, to do my alignment need it wrong or did a half *** job on it.
