Like the question asks, i was gonna order the SRR rear camber kit to go with my H&R sports and koni yellows. I just wanted to know if i should save the money and do the washer trick, or go ahead and get the rear camber kit. I got a good price on it for just $50 thanks for your help!

 

i think regular washer do the trick

 

Whoever aligns your car is going to want to shoot you if you do the washer thing. Also its a pretty ghetto rig. I would go with quality aftermarket pars over the washer thing.

 

The rear camber kit is the washer trick......oh yeah and some longer bolts

LOL. If whoever is aligning your car has never seen or used shims themselves to align a car, I would go somewhere else. Washers = Shims, and are used to align MANY cars.

 

but its so much easier with adjustable upper arms loosen a bolt, adjust, tighten.

 

I think for something that you are going to adjust just a few times a year at best, I would rather take 2 bolts out and add/remove 3cent washers then spend 100+ on a rear turnbuckle style camber kit.

If I was racing my car and needed to adjust the camber from track to track, it would a no brainer.

Not to mention that the spherical bearings on the SRR camber and toe links are WEAR ITEMS and will get sloppy a lot sooner then you think.

Negative camber is good yo unless your a poor college student like me. B hittin them corners like crazy

 

H&R Sports? Dude, you'll be at like -1.5 or -1 for the camber. Who cares? Leave it alone. Just have the toe zeroed out and your tires will wear fine as long you rotate often.

Good Answer.

 

I just used the washers to adjust the camber with my eibach pro-kit. h&r sports drop about the same so I'd recommend using the washers.

 

I've been wanting to do the washer trick on my rear cambers for awhile now.

Anyone know of any write-ups on how to do this?

play nice

check out jdmfan.com . should have a write-up explaining how to correct it.

 

Hell, I'd like to know where this myth of having to have your camber at ZERO originated.

 

for someone not concerned with performance 0 camber= the longest tire life. considering that my car is mainly street driven the longer my tires can last the better. if im hitting up the soloevent i can adjust the camber accordingly. i dont know about everyone else but droping 98$ each tire isnt something i want to be doing alot of.

 

Yeah, I guess I forget about people that lower their car to impress the middle school girls down the street.

 

I run -1.5 degrees of camber in back and -1.75 degrees of camber in front.

After 12-15k miles, I still do not show any camber wear.
