camber issues

I have some camber issues now that I have installed my skunk2 pro s coilovers. I dont know exactly how low I went but i have negative camber on all four wheels. I was told that I need to buy a camber kit, so I was thinking about getting the blox racing camber kit for the front and rear but I don't know if that would be a wise purchase. Can I have some advice on what to do?

Blox is fine. How bad is the camber?

In the front it is pretty bad. I brought it to the alignment shop in my area and when it was on the lift it looked real bad, though I dont know the exact degree. In the back it isn't too bad as i have a eg8 so I refuse to have sag in the rear. :thumb: Do I need to get the rear camber or rear toe kit?

i have the same problem however my car isnt lowered the caster is off by quite a bit in the rear unknown why but ever since i swaped over my rear disc ....

im planning on getting the whole chabang the upper control arms that are adjustable and the rear caster kit.....if i where you id get everything so its easer to make your suspension correct....

get it aligned and make shure they set rear and front toe to 0 exactly. toe kills tires faster then camber. 0 exactly will give you even tire wear

Yea I was reading about adjusting my toe and I do hope I don't have to buy this camber kit. Im going to one of these places tomorrow to see if they can adjust the toe. Man I really hate going to these shops around town and being turned down because im too low!!

I would not recommend getting the blox camber kit..I had it and it tapped holes into my shock towers..I recommend going with skunk2 cause they have the screws on the inside..not the outside.

yes let me reword that lol


camber does very little to kill the tires .... basically to little for someone to measure without doing the whole " bill nye the science guy" thing lol

i had -2 degrees on my rear tires for over a yr and a half and the fronts where straight up and down and both lost tread just as fast so basically its as if it does nothing!

sry bout the BROAD statement :thumb:
