do i need a camber kit?

[Terryfying]

hey there, currently have a eg which are on a set of king springs superlows...the rims i have atm are 14inch..every time i turn left it scrubs against the guard..im planning to get the 5zigen fn01r in 15inch very soon and just wondering it it scrape even more?? and any solutions?? my mate told me i will need a camber kit..but the price im looking at for these kits arnt that great... any suggestions?

[flipfire]

What rubbers are you running?

[shebangs]

What shocks and tyres are you runnning?

Superlows on decent shocks on an EG on 14's shouldn't scrape on every left.

What tyres before and after?
What offset before and after?

[Terryfying]

offset now im not too sure i think it was 0 offset since its stock alloys but im sitting it on stock shocks..but the 5zigen rims are +37...um tires now..im not sure but tyres after ive been told to run 185/55/15..ive been told if i get my guards rolled or something i might be right and if i get low profile tyres....if the standard tyres ive been told to get is 185/55/15 what would the dimernsions for the low profiles be???

[jdmEG5]

mate, get ur guards rolled. My EG, 4inch lowered on 14inch. Tyres are 185/95 i think? does not scrape at all! unless i use my 17". Camber kit is not necessary, just get ur guards front and rear rolled

[Terryfying]

how much would this be and where can i get it done in sydney?

[Onjays]

tempe tyres
70 a corner?
from what i hear theyre dodgy though

Fixing the guard rolling with a camber kit is probably the wrong way to go about it.
The FN01r's will most likely rub if your stockies are rubbing. I think your shocks could be worn because friends have run superlows with minimal rubbing.
As for tyre size 195/50/15 will give you most accurate speedo readings.

There may be some other reason why you're rubbing. If its only when you turn to the left, and not when turning right, then there seems to be some other reason other than the height. Check the plasic mud guards under the fender to make sure they are screwed in correctly, and check your suspension to make sure nothing is bent, which might give you positive camber.

Bit more info might help diagnose your problem

wow your car must be dumped to be scrappin on 14's. i think there is a good chance your shocks are blown. even if you are Super Low, should have plenty of space for 14's. check for leaks in all 4 shocks.

hmm..will do..thanks people

I have the same problem with 215/45/15 every time I turn right.

When I was running 205/40/17 it wasn't scraping at all......

Well obviously the 205/40/17's have a bigger circumference than the 15's but it'll come down to the offset and width of tyre in that case...

Fyi Bro , I reckon you should change to coilovers .. is useless putting on a camber it wont change anything but only make ur car more stable when you turn and stuff.....

So what you mean is that there is nothing I can do?

Are you for real?

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

Terry is there any other factors of driving that you could tell us?

Did the car at a certain point (after slamming) where the car felt soft?

Anything you can think of Terry, it would help us.

To my previous experience with my Civic and Corolla it does sound like the shocks are gone but the fact the guards are unrolled couldn't be helping either.

Check your shocks and report back.

[Terryfying]

shocks seems to be fine..and ive diagnosed the problem!!! it was the friggen guard..it was stickin out and pretty much on the left tyre...so relieved it wasnt the shocks hehe..wil get my guards rolled anyways before the new rims are put on....any cheap good places out there that anyone could suggest?? or anyone on this forum?? lol

[riruiz_88]

damn post a picture, i wanna see dumpage on 14's. and where you located?

[Terryfying]

cabra area lol

[dumped echo]

cabra is sydney right?...

[jdmEG5]

yes cabra is sydney. Livo line. Tempe tyres, are dodgy at theres stuff (no offence). Mate got his guards rolled there, the paint kinda cracked(where it was rolled) and got rusted. As for me, i did it at VERSACE AUSTRALIA's BEST at Lakemba/Wiley park, they do a really proper job. I forgot how much it was all together, but im pretty sure its between $200 - $300 for all 4.
