rear camber for lowered vehicles

by **541NTT** » Tue Mar 24, 2009 2:16 pm

having owned lowered commodores in the past and a honda accord, what is the deal when lowering the libs with rear camber? can it be adjusted? i know commodores offer a rear camber kit that straightens the camber out a bit more, i didnt really have any issues with the accord in the rear (tho the front was fairly bad) so im wondering if the lib will be ok? 19" tyres are expensive suckers..

HKS make a rear camber adjustment link you can get.

I had it before on the GT. Helps with extra extra low cars

As per usual Phat man can get it for you.

cheers guys- as i am currently running bridgestone tyres on the front, and nankangs on the back (previouse owner of rims had the nankangs) i might just wait and see how long they go before wearing, once they die il replace them with bridgestones then decide if i am going to use a camber kit.

cheers for the help!

I just had my teins c/overs fitted today and I had to raise it due to no camber adjustment on the rear.

Can anyone tell me if there is adjustment or not. They suspension place that fitted them definitely swore till they they blue in the face that there was none... Me being a noob when it comes to that level of detail, I took it on face value.

And, any links to the camber sets you guys were talking about above as I really want her to sit lower again...

Thanks

usually there are factory adjustments that can be made, which is why coilovers dont generally have adjustment at the top of the strut on the rears(just the fronts)...

They should be able to adjust them... if not, im sure they could install a couple of camber bolts for you!

John at Wheels World told me the fronts are adjustable but not rear unless you buy a whiteline or similar kit.

That's what I was told too. As 04 GT has asked, anyone know where we can get one of these Whiteline kits from?

Cheers

I'm using Whiteline - KCA399 (Camber adj kit-upper c/arm bushes (qty 2 in pack)) as I have STi lateral links.

I bought mine through Adam @ www.tuspeed.com.au

Pardon my noob question. but does the lateral links make a difference whether or not you fit the kit?

The STi lateral links don't allow camber/toe adjustment, that's why I bought the adj upr control bush.

Whiteline make KTA124 (4 x complete adj lower control arms).

IMHO day to day driving the STi lateral links did squat but when driving at the limit through twisties & on the track, the lateral links made a big difference to the rear end feel.

Haha. I'll look at Adam's website.
