What is the maximum degree we can set for the rear camber kit? Can we make it more than -3 degree? How about the front camber kit as well?

Depends what camber kit you buy as well as wether you've lowered your car or not.

because of the design of the suspension you will naturally get negative camber when you lower the car. Then depending on what camber kit you get (Adjustable UCA or just bushes/washers) you could get up to about -6 degress on top of that natural camber.

Front is similar however you get more natural camber at the rear.

It depends on the camber kit.

With the Ingalls at the rear you can go from -1.5 to +3. I was thinking of getting mine set to -1.2 or -1.5. Not sure yet. A little bit of extra camber at the rear is nice for handling IMO.

I lowered my car using coilover and currently at -3.65 on the rear left and -3.75 on the right. I just wanna both on the same degree. Also i need to camber the front wheels maybe -2 or -3 (not for daily driving, only for autosalon). Do you know which brand and where to buy? Thanks.

The difference between those two figures at the rear is next to nothing. That sort of difference can be caused by a 10kg box of tools on the RHS of your boot. Unless you are planning to reduce the camber just leave that rear alone.

As for the front - Ingalls can go again only to -1.5 at the front (part number 35590).

You'll need to look into replacement upper control arms.

Not sure what brand to go myself but there a fair few out there that will go up to about -5 degrees using the upper control arm.

I'm in the process of ordering in an eibach front camber kit. Like yfin I'm thinking of running a touch more negative camber in the rear: say -1 to -1.5 and then for the front i might try running -1.5 to -2

FRONT
Progress goes to -1.75
Eibach goes to -1.5
Ingalls goes to -1.5
SPC goes to -1.5
Comptech goes to -1.5

People can add to this list I am sure as there are lots of kits now.

There is a Skunk2 kit that goes up to -5 (as above replaces upper control arms) but I can't see that being released for the CL9.

Oh my bad guys. I didn't realise it was for a CL9. My numbers will be for anything EG. but same principles.

Ingalls replaces bottom, SPC replaces top.

Ingalls camber kit is one of the most versatile ones around, easy to work with. My installer was impressed at the kit...

^ seems expensive once you factor in shipping costs, gst etc.

I'm personally going for the eibach kit -it has the same range of adjustment

egSi (trav) at undergroundimports can get eibach stuff. I'm not sure how soon you want the kit but I'll probably have some pictures of it on and off my car + impressions of the quality etc in a few weeks if you wanna check it out before you make your decision :P

Yeah.I was told i didn't need one for the front as there is adjustment for both toe and camber as opposed to rear which only has toe!!!

ah yep... i think you can make minute adjustments at the front and even after you lower it the camber doesn't change much at the front at all. I'm only going for the front one because i want more neg. camber :P
