Is rear camber in anyway adjustable without camber kits?

[TanitY]

finally diy my coilovers on my ep3r, my rear has quite a bit of camber, quick question is rear camber adjustable to some extent without a camber kit?

And yes i am of course going to get it professionally aligned.

Cheers.

no not possible without modifying your existing or installing an adjustable upper control arm kit. Either raise it to a satisfactory height or invest into camber kit/s

cheers bennjamin will raise it then, until i get my hands on a camber kit

just get a proper alignment and dw bout ur camber!! doesn't effect your tire wear as much as toe in or toe out.

p.s make sure u get ur car corner weighted after getting coilovers installed

I agree with you up until the bolded part where you recommend corner weighting, corner weighting is a very labour intensive process that will have an imperceptible affect on street performance and a relatively negligible affect on track performance compared to other factors for amateurs like most of us. I would certainly not bother getting a car corner weighted for purely street use.

Out of curiousity what would you have the corner weights on an EP3 set to? 50% cross weights? Why?

lol ive been corrected. but if it hasnt been corner weighted wont the geometry of a car will be messed up? from what it was wen it left the factory ?

You run this risk with every single type of suspension modification there is.
The point is though - that , for a road car - there is NO point spending time and money making sure each corner is exactly weighted with your weight in the drivers seat.
Just make each end the same
Height , drop measure and adjust again to your preferences

sweet thanks for that.

[TanitY]

lol thanks for the clearance, i was about to go get my coilovers corner weighted, costs a crap load.

just wanted some opinions on my setup. I just got my car aligned and my camber settings are -2 degree, and 0 toe, -2.5neg degree camber at the rear, 0 toe.

What do u guys think of this setup? I wanted more front camber but the tie rod ends couldn't adjust further.

Cheers

sounds good. maybe have -1.5 camber at the rears ? and when going on track run about 0.15 toe out at the front :) helps turn into the corner.. but will kill ur tires

for street use just run 0 front and rears
