Rear Negetive Camber (lowered cars)
« on: April 20, 2008, 10:55:55 AM »
I'm toying with the idea of removing the unsightly fender gaps.  This is my DD, and I'm leaning towards the H&R Sports + Bilstein Sports.  This would be a 1.25" drop.

I was going to get the AKG eccentic bushings, but people complained about its inability to individually adjust the camber without changing the toe.  Looks like welding an eccentic bolt to the subframe is the only clear, expensive and time consuming answer.

Anyone else have Sports, can tell me how bad the tire wear is?  I was not sure if the people complaining about the rear neg camber had their cars significantly lowered or what.

toe will wear out a tire way faster than camber will. it shouldnt be to bad with h&r sports. on a daily driver id just go with the bushings.

Ireland makes a kit that allows you to adjust rear camber and toe independently.  Requires you remove the subframe, cut the trailing arm mounts and weld new adjustable tabs to use with eccentric bolts.
