What were your negative cambers, when lowered without adj arms?

[dee-y]

Hey guys,

Bout to get sussy sorted, and would like to know how much neg camber you guys were running without the adj arms. If it's around 2 I don't mind not getting some ingalls, as the rims I bought came with shitty nankangs, which I don't care much about. But if it's going to be something that WILL chew through tyres insanely, I will definitely get one. (All this considering correct toe.)

Also this is with the koni/eibach combo I'm most likely gonna get. Would it differ if I decided to lets say, get N+?

I'm not sure what the camber angle is but my mates euro has massive camber. I hav ingalls RCA and the rear wheels have much better tyre life so it is worth getting them.

[Simonnn]

Mine has -2.5, -3 rears lowered to less than 1 finger gap i think

[shmivic]

i have -6 rear and -1 front all natural camber, only have coilovers with -2 finger gap all round.

do have a full set of spoon sports adjustable arms waiting for me to get motivated enough to fit them

[blastnpast]

I'm not sure how much camber I'm
Running but it's all natural and I'd prob say about -6 on the rears after BLOX LCa installed...

Car is sitting on lowest point of Tein type street flex dampers no finger gap :)

[dee-y]

How's tyre life been for -6? Sounds like a fair bit... 2.5 I can live with.

[Crapdaz]

OP - depends what your lowering on generally no finger gap gives you roughly -2 to 2.5 on the rear and front would be -1 to 1.5

what coilovers got you negative 2 finger gap?

[dee-y]

Well it's not gonna be slammed 1-2 finger gap on koni yellow and eibach pro kit.

Tanabe sustec pro GF with helper spring removed, still about 1" left in them

[shmivic]

you will have nice camber, around 2 on the rear and 1 on the fronts. wont chew tires either.

Mine was -2.4 and -3 on both rear wheels before i installed the rear camber kit so i'm assuming yours would be similar as i have Eibach springs.

Yeah I can live with that. How was the tyre life when you had that?

I got the camber kit week after lowering it.Wasn't game to see how my $350/corner tyres would wear!!

Yeah that's fair enough. Leaving towards keeping the camber for now while those shitty Nankangs are on it! Once they're done and I've got the tyres I want, I'll correct my camber.

[Crapdaz]

Don't worry nankangs don't wear out....just don't give you grip though.
Keep us posted on how the nankangs hold up with awesome camber.

I'm hunting for a camber kit atm, does anyone know if the Ebay alternatives are any good? They're a lot cheaper, but obviously I do not want to sacrifice safety for a few bucks!

e.g. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Accord-Acura-TL-TSX-REAR-Camber-Kit-Set-Carbon-Steel-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem2a0d9f7970QQitemZ18061 7181552QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccesso ries#ht_1472wt_865

You get for what you pay for lol..

( cheap shit )

[Simonnn]

Locally, all I'm able to find are 'HardRace' and Js Racing camber kits.. has anyone heard of Hard Race? LOL

ideally looking for an ingalls kit, but figured they might be all similar since they're just two sticks

I'd probably just go the ingalls when I get mine.

No probs Daz. I plan to put it my sussy some time next week. I'll post pics.

[x10Hz]

FYI
I have -5 rear -2 front (-1.5/2 finger gap at rear, -0.5 finger gap at the front), natural camber at the rear with front adjustables.
My rubber lasted about 5000km, they are full bald on the inside (rear only), that being said, there has been some fairly enthusiastic driving on those.
Brand: Falken 912's

Gonna get the NS2's next, and get a proper alignment done.

Was your toe aligned?

[x10Hz]

off the top of my head like .5 toe in, BUT - i had the alignment done before i got defected, so the car was raised and lowered after, so its prolly ****ed. lolz was just lazy in getting an alignment

That doesnt sound right, -6 deg camber with a 2 finger gap? u should be tucking with that much camber~

Hard Race is a Taiwanese R&D company who makes the popular American suspension arms "Meagan".

[Simonnn]

I think he means negative two finger gap haha :D

I'm tossing up between Ingalls and Pedders, might just go pedders because I cbf ordering from overseas.. AUDM YO!

[dee-y]

Let us know how much pedders will charge!

[[ IV 23 VI ]]

That doesnt make sense either, negative 2 finger gap all round now means he is now tucking at the front aswell?? lol

Pedders will tear you a new asshole,

Have you had a look around for a second hand kit off this forum or posted a WTB? There must must be a few guys parting out there euro's for sure.

[Simonnn]

Yeah posted a WTB with no replies (WHERE IS THE OzHonda LOVE :()

just got quoted $205 for a brand new pedders camber kit.. not direct from Pedders though, funnily enough! How difficult is it to install a camber kit by yourself? (I did the coilover install myself, but not sure how you measure the camber angles etc)

[x10Hz]

camber kit = 2 bolts per arm. easy as piss :)

[[ IV 23 VI ]]

Yeah very easy to install, best to measure it with by the eye and then book your car in for a wheel allignment the next day.

How much were you quoted for the ingalls arms?

[Simonnn]

Looking around on iapdirect, ebay etc I think you're looking at $250ish shipped

correct, the front and rears are tucked in very nicely, never scrapes even with 18x8.5+35 (225/40)

btw -2 means i have NO GAP and the top. My tires are now 2 fingers up inside the guards.

that boggles my mind, cos im prolly a touch higher, and i scrape the underside of the car all the time... lol?

on the road the chassis rails get crunched sometimes but no tire scrape lol.

its a track car anyway i havent driven it on the road in 5 weeks!

[dee-y]

Putting in sussy tomorrow! Hopefully won't run anything tooo loco

[shmivic]

^^^ thats what i first said, give it 2 weeks and you willl be on the minimum lol

[dee-y]

lol shmivic. Don't want my rears too sunken. I'll probably aim for 1.5 finger gap all round.

[dee-y]

K just got my new setup in! Running-1.7 at front and -2.7 at the back. 1 finger gap. Loving it so far. I'll post up pics on the weekend.

[shmivic]

sounds sweet, hows the toe in on the rear?

Just some quick crappy iphone pics. I'll put some proper ones later!

[TRaNz]

I run -2.5 with 1 toe in for fronts and -4.0 with 2 toe in for rears .... and its daily....LOL
Yeah and i got the camber kits for the fronts and rear to run the neg camber, not reduce it....hahahaha...im such a douche

[dee-y]

Cheers tran.

Here's another quick pic. Will post in the appearance section when I get some more.
