im not too sure about the front but assume because of the ball joint you can adjust it in either X(horizontal = toe) or Y(vertical = camber) axis.

The rear camberkit has 2 arms (1 shorter arm for camber, 1 longer arm for toe).

In regards to both those links. You will need 2x each one to have it fully adjustable cause the price is only for 1side.

Note: With the suspension geometry there is no need to get the front camber kit cause the only thing that gets stuffed when lowering for the front is the toe. Which still can get fixed when it's stock.

Hope this helps.

For the rear, if daz is correct and you need 2.. it's pretty cheap anyway.. cause it's only costing $230 all up at the moment..

Yo NDU19E, Dupac only purchased one of them and it seems he needs two.... and it's going to cost him more if he purchases another set and pays for postage again.. so you can possibly bundle his purchase into urs to save him the extra postage.. obviously he'll pay the difference..

For 2 x rear camber kit - $232
For an extra one bundled with shipping - $336, so he'll pay extra $104 to you..

just a suggestion..

Hey Daz,

Is this enough to adjust the camber and not worry about the toe.. ? i was told by a tyre place that euro's already have toe adjustment and u don't need to purchase this.

If you buy 1 kit it will come with the toe arm, stock only has a very limited adjustment.

After lowering a bit more i was running like +8mm toe in.

So you might as well install them both while your at it and makes it easier for tyre places to adjust. Also i went to bob jane and they refused to adjust mine cause they didn't have the tools to fit into there cause the subframe blocks it.

I did mine with 2 crescent spanners. (adjustable spanners)

Doosra - the lower your car is the more toe in you will have. Best bet to get both arms installed at the same time.

More Toe = more tyre wear;
More camber = more tyre wear.

haha fair enuf.. :) i doubt it will be anytime soon, i was thinking p6 at homebush but thats been fenced off last time i was there lmao lol

Hopefully i have a euro still.
yeh i posted it up months ago before mentioning P6 was fenced off and the fact they are adding boomgates/ticket machinese similiar to P1-5.
So no more meets there unless you grab a ticket.

Yeh i remember the epic euro meet where 26 euros came from the initial 13euro comfirmation so epic but too bad weather was crap.
Anyhows goodluck with planning it mate.

If you buy 2 sets of these (one for each side), then it will adjust camber and toe. The built in toe adjustment at the rear is very crude.

You need 2 kits, because 1 kit will come with 2 arms of different lengths and bushing widths. You can't use one on the left and one on the right to save money.

i think ur right daz, cause i noticed on the description that it says "ONE SIDE" ..

Crapdaz
04-05-2009, 02:21 PM
sorry i didn't read description.

but when i bought mine i was in the same dilemma.
so from looking @ price i know it's single sided. :p

glad i could help you DoosRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

If it is not in stock, expect it to take a while to get in by sea.

Is that including shipping? If it is then it's a good price. Autocom or something on ebay charges ~$70USD for shipping + $159USD for the kit which comes to ~$280AUD..depending on the exchange rate.

You can ask them for piece of mind. When I bought mine from that seller in early 2007, I bought 1 set and they sent me the kit for both sides, which totalled 4 pieces. Make sure you message them for a quote on shipping costs so you don't get a surprised. I can't exactly remember how much I paid, but it was about $230-250 landed.

yeah. Who did your coils?

dupac->
09-07-2009, 01:06 PM
everythings pretty easy to install JN7.

coils are abit more tricky having to take off the parcel shelf at the back.

the camber kit you only need 17mm and 14mm socket with ratchet or even better a breaker bar.

and a 14mm and 17mm spanner
4 bolts each side

bam and its on dude.

lol

09-07-2009, 08:05 PM
how long did you have to wait for it ??

well my cousin is doing paypal for me (i had to transfer money and it takes 3-4 days to clear into her paypal account) but if you minus that.. it should take around 5 working days.

i'll let ya know how long it takes once it's been cleared and received

Crapdaz
10-07-2009, 08:51 AM
ebay = to receive product
7-10days for a fast shipment
11-20days for a normal shipment
20+ = slowass...

NOTE: Working days.

JN7
13-07-2009, 04:28 PM
lol maybe. haha im like very very tempted to go get my coils installed professionally and just get a backyard job on the camber kit. got any instructions?
and whats the go with adjusting the kit? i am a lost cause at this stuff

NDU19E
13-07-2009, 04:46 PM
best thing to do mate is to youtube it.. youll fidn anything on there.

when it comes to the camber kit, best to install it yourself and then just have the pro's set up the camber and degree..

when installing the coils, it will take alittle more so its better to get sombody to instal them... which means you might aswell pay sombody to do it professionaly lol

JN7
13-07-2009, 04:56 PM
i just got quoted 330 for coils install.
with camber kit, i might just get my friend whose done his own one on his euro and just get it adjusted from a shop like you said. have you adjusted yours? how much did you pay?

NDU19E
13-07-2009, 05:06 PM
i had mine adjusted. I did the lowering first and they dialed the camber.

cost me 70 bucks with front and rear alignment

JN7
13-07-2009, 05:25 PM
that looks tops. im thinking of putting back on my stocks on my 06.
ill call places tomorrow for installation

If they are installing coils for you, ask them to install the camber kit at the same time. Shouldn't cost much more since the car is already on the hoist.

JN7
13-07-2009, 06:22 PM
yeah but i havent got the camber kit yet. i might just wait it out. Paypal still hasnt cleared my transfer yet.

its gone through. now the wait continues. would i have a lot of camber lowered on 19s?

Crapdaz
15-07-2009, 12:55 PM
paypal takes around 3days to clear...

19" depends on how low you would set it.
My 18" dropped 2" gave me around -3 to -4 deg camber and toe was out by almost 8mm each side.

JN7
15-07-2009, 01:19 PM
im not gonna have it too low. got a screwed up driveway.

do you have oem kit? or stock nothing?
lipkit + lowered = fail too even if you don't lower too much.

what's the clearance (lowest point) on your driveway?

NOTE: sorry guys for being a bit off topic.

hmm look buddyclub n+ on the lowest setting with modullo front kit with 18" measured to be abt 5cm off the ground :0

16-07-2009, 06:22 AM
i dont understand your question daz

Crapdaz
16-07-2009, 08:29 AM
okay if your driveway is stuffed.
the driveway might concave up or down if not flat.

when you reach the point of where the driveway points down and elevates back onto the gutter that would be your worst point of contact to your lipkit.

With me trying to go straight(reversing) onto my driveway i start scrapping once my rear wheels start going up the driveway.

Assuming you don't set the coilovers too low i would assume you'd be able to get into the driveway at a suitable height without doing ANGLE (might not have a neighbours driveway next door)!


hmm look buddyclub n+ on the lowest setting with modullo front kit with 18" measured to be abt 5cm off the ground :0
yeh sounds about right, but what i am asking is the lowest height NOW when he enters and exits the driveway (from ground to lip clearance).
