camber issues

By eduhat
- Sat Feb 06, 2010 10:02 pm #173774 I have some camber issues now that I have installed my skunk2 pro s coilovers. I dont know exactly how low I went but i have negative camber on all four wheels. I was told that I need to buy a camber kit, so I was thinking about getting the blox racing camber kit for the front and rear but I don't know if that would be a wise purchase. Can I have some advice on what to do?

In the back it isn't too bad as i have a eg8 so I refuse to have sag in the rear. :thumb: Do I need to get the rear camber or rear toe kit?

im planning on getting the whole chabang the upper control arms that are adjustable and the rear caster kit.....if i where you id get everything so its easer to make your suspension correct....

- Sun Feb 07, 2010 4:41 pm #173905 I would not recommend getting the blox camber kit..I had it and it tapped holes into my shock towers..I recommend going with skunk2 cause they have the screws on the inside..not the outside.

So you're saying that camber doesn't wear tires?

camber does very little to kill the tires .... basically to little for someone to measure without doing the whole " bill nye the science guy" thing lol

i had -2 degrees on my rear tires for over a yr and a half and the fronts where straight up and down and both lost tread just as fast so basically its as if it does nothing!

sry bout the BROAD statement :thumb:
