camber kit

[goldwing2000]

Yeah, you can sometimes get a toe-and-go for $19.95 on sale. Usually a 4-wheel alignment with thrust angle is like $50, tops.
There are usually coupons floating around, too.

damn you people that live in real states.

 

[Gambino]

what about something like a firestone?

 

[goldwing2000]

damn you people that live in real states.

Yeah, but you have better gun laws than anybody but Alaska.

tphskab: Yeah, Firestone should be good but still see if you can get a recommendation from somebody you trust, though.

I used to work at a Firestone and I've seen techs using tire pressure to correct an alignment that they couldn't figure out. (boom01)
That was 16 years ago, so they might have straightened out but caution is always a good idea.

Try here http://www.finishlineperformance.com/cgi-bin/shopper?preadd=action&key=MAZ3MS1005 or here http://www.trademotion.com/partloca...&siteid=213989&categoryID=58547&subcat1=73844
I believe Eibach made the Mazdaspeed springs and I know Showcase sells them with the camber correction kit. Ptuning also sells these I belive

This is interesting...
I have a printed page with the part numbers that I printed from the application guide from eibach.com a few months ago.

Now, the website has been updated, and they don't have any numbers listed..
I guess they never really made them... I bet any shop that has it "available" only has it setup for pricing, but they can't actually get it as it has never been made.

 

[ZoomVT]

yeah very likely. they were on tirerack with a mid september availability date.
i just checked and they still have them on the site but they have it on "back order". that will become a billing nightmare when they have to refund all the orders.

they do not have a part number

 

[goldwing2000]

Yeah, I had my guy call his supplier and he said (big surprise) another "two months". (deadhorse

I wrote an e-mail to Eibach asking them WTF but haven't gotten a reply (and don't really expect to).

 

[Space Wrangler]

The Mazdaspeed ones should work to correct the camber.Talked to Showcase Mazda and they also belive that Eibach made these for Mazdaspeed. just a freaking rip off in cost. I guess you could just love the neg. camber since it helps in the corners and just keep flipping the tires since most directional tires don't care unless you a driving in wet weather-you can make them last

Just so everyone knows, SPC Performance has our camber kits. They actually OEM for Eibach. I'm not sure if Eibach will even carry this kit since it's been deleted off their parts application list. I have called SPC and they gave me a list of "Authorized Dealers" in my area. Yes...Tire Rack is one of them. Les Schwab is a local tire and wheel shop that is on the list. If you're from the NW this is a good place to go or other local tuner shops that may be dealers. If you look at the SPC website you will not see the part listed. I had the part number but do not have it anymore. If you call they will give it to you and you can use this to order it from your local shop.

Hope this helps. I am showing cords on my Proxes with 12k on them (hand)

 

[ZoomVT]

thanks for the heads up. i will look into it.

awesome news rb! Keep us posted with pictures! I am concerned with the top of my tires hitting the fenders on mine

Yeah, me too. I feel once the camber is corrected I will be very close with the Sportline drop. May have to roll the fenders which is no biggy.

Another update to the camber kit saga...

I ended up buying the only Mazdaspeed camber link kit (actually just a pair of adusted upper control arms) from Corksport. I can not wait any longer.

I talked at lengths with Craig at SPC Performance and the only camber kits in existance are the two pair that were the R&D set. He also quoted me $170 retail each for the links. I say links becuase it appears that the pictures we have seen on Tirerack.com and other websites are not correct. The actual part is a turnbuckle type adjustable control arm. I'm guessing the lower since it is straight easier to engineer. I've used the adustable links on my past Honda cars and they work nice.

Which brings me to another question...

Is there any camber adjustment in the rear of the 3? And eccentric type?

 

[goldwing2000]

Is there any camber adjustment in the rear of the 3? And eccentric type?

No. There's an eccentric on one of the lower arms but that's just for toe adjustment.

Another note about the Mazdaspeed camber links:

says it will correct negative camber on suspensions lowered from 22-55mm.
