Rear Camber Adjustments

Postby drndrn » Sat Sep 11, 2010 3:18 pm

Hey guys,

Just wondering how we would manage to get a little more camber in the rear of our cars. The reason I ask is that I'm looking at new rims and they will require some negative camber to fit under the guards.

I looked at whiteline camber adjustment kits for the rear but they said it only allows -/+ 1degrees and I'm thinking I'll probably need a tiny bit more (between -1.5 to -2.0). I know that as you lower our cars, the rear tends to induce some camber naturally, would the natural camber + the camber adjustment kit be enough for what I'm after?

Thanks
Darren.

I've got the whiteline kit in the rear and Trutrack managed to get -2deg each side, i'm currently running -1.5deg each side.

Or you can try this http://www.whiteline.com.au/product_det ... ber=KTA124

Thanks for the reply mate.

-2.0 should be just right for what i'm after.

I looked at the kit you linked me to, but it's a bit expensive for I need it for. Maybe if I were building a track car I'd be more interested.

How much do TruTrak charge for an alignment? Or coilover adjustment + alignment?

I'm trying to decide between G-Forces (18 x 9) and Grids (18 x 9.5).
