Few days ago I lowered my car on Sportlines, KYB shocks, and Eibach camber kits. They all installed fine, and naturally the alignment was totally whack. So I took it in today for a 4-point alignment. Toe and Caster was able to be done fine and they were able to get the rear camber done pretty much to spec, but the mechanic told me the front camber could not be adjusted? Not sure exactly, I'm guessing that there was not enough degree in the kit to adjust it properly. Here are my front readings:
LF
Actual: +1.28
Before: +1.47
Specified Range: -0.58 to +0.42
RF
Actual: +0.65
Before: +0.99
Specified Range: -0.58 to +0.42
Should I look at getting another front camber kit? If so, what would be the best for my current front camber settings so that I can get it into spec? TIA ;)
Update: Interestingly enough I was told by someone on 2GNT that dropping the car adds negative camber, so adding the kits should add some positive to it. In my case it looks maybe too much was added and they must be at the lowest setting they can go? Should I throw my stocks back on? Hm..
Update 2: Overboost.com (where I got them from) claimed they were +/- 0.75 degrees of adjustment.. hm, so, what kit should I look for based upon what I have now?
Update 3: Now after looking what all I had gotten, I noticed Overboost ended up shipping me the Specialty Products camber kit.. on the box it says "Change Camber +1.75 to +3.25." This help with diagnosing my problem? Maybe give you an idea of what kit I need to get instead? Heh, sorry to bug you guys, just new to suspension tuning
Sorry so long, just need mega help before my long trip to the east coast :D
