anyone running rear camber links with coilovers?

[daonly1around]

yeah, its all of the way down in the rear and really low in the front. will take some in a bit!

wait, you added spacers to your already flush 18x9's?

i think anything over -2 camber is too much and your tires will be getting worn down fast if you actually drive the s*** out of the car. Performance wise, ya it will feel real good at those settings said above. 1/8" toe seems too aggressive for DD that doesnt like buying tires alot i would go with the 1/16" toe if anything

Actually, if you "drive the s*** out of your car" you're likely to see more even tire wear with that kind of camber. Less negative camber, and the more you scrub off the outside edges of the front tires first. Now if you do most of your driving on highways and in a straight line, you might see some accelerated inner wear, and I would suggest you run less aggressive front camber, but if you're like me and like to go to the track (excluding the 1/4 mile track), I think those numbers are great.

hahahah no, that would not have worked. ive already sold the gold rims, im back on the stock wheels/tires. with all of the fender room i made when i pulled them out it looked even more lame with those little bicycle 215's on there, so i threw some 25mm spacers on and it looks much better.

going with different wheels now?

 

[madvillian]

nope, i just need the money. some bad s**** going on at work, my incomes been cut hugely, and i need to sell anything i dont need haha. well, everything short of parting out my car, hopefully it wont come to that..

ya i totally agree with you, like i said performance wise ya it will feel/be real good....it's a great setup for a driver that tracks often. I was only referring to the DD who rips around town and whatnot.

I think I'll be picking up some BC Coilovers soon...what other items will I need for my suspension...I just want to get a rough ending cost rather than get them and be surprised with all these other items I have to buy. I'm guessin adj. rear camber links. Is that it? Thanks

Depends on what your goals are.

I want to lower the car, make the suspension stiffer mess around on the streets and go on mountain roads every now and then. I dont plan on autocrossing or drag racing. would just the coilovers be effiecient?

A rear sway should definitely be on your list too. Even after the improvement over stock with the BC's the car still felt different when the Cobb RSB went in. Never used a FSB so I can't comment. The rear camber links will depend on how low you want to go. I'm dropped 5/16" in the rear and my camber is within spec on both sides. It's not even side to side but within spec all the same. I plan on going a little lower if my new wheels will allow so I went ahead and picked up a set of SPC links. When my new wheels get here I will be throwing those in and aligning the car again.

I measured and I'm looking for 1.5in or so in the front and 1-1.25in in the rear, just enough to have a 1 finger gap or so on my stock rims/tires...

Would the BCs be able to bring it down this low and would my car still be within factory camber specs?

What is the maximum drop for the front and rear to keep the camber under 2?
