i dropped a b16a in awhile back into my eg and now for some reason i have really bad negative camber only on the front two.

is the difference in weight the reason for this? i didn't think the weight difference would be that much.

front sussy setup has not been changed at all, only the rotors.


anyhow, what is the best way to fix the camber issue?

i'm running king spring superlows with stock sussy setup.

When you lower the car, the alignment changes. In your case, it's the camber. (my car went from 0 to -3.2 camber when I lowered it) Get a front camber kit.

I'm looking at the Ingalls kit. Spoon/Vision also has a kit. Front camber kits will be more expensive than the rear.

Hey aaronng, where you planning to get it and how much? Im just waiting for a quote for some cusco ones and the guy said itll be around 250-300.

I'm using an ingalls anchor bolt kit. Was about 240aud shipped. Pretty simple design, hard to go wrong really. Ball joint kit may be a bit easier to adjust. Both may have issues with fender clearance though. Depending how low you are. I've had to make certain "adjustments" so it dosn't knock. Can't really comment on the skunk2 type ones as they weren't an option for me.

why fix the negative camber

Your car will handle great

My mechanic tells me if i want to get even tire wear i should hit every corner HARD

So next time a police officer pulls me over and asks why i turn so quickly i can say "my mechanic told me to"

Mine is for the rear. Getting them off ebay from the US for $275ish. If they were the fronts for my car, proper upper A-arm ones would be expensive.

how does hitting the car hard around corners fix this negative camber?
i agree with the rest of the fellas and for you to get camber kits.
my car is dropped pretty low and is experiencing bad neg camber, perhaps swapping tyres from left to right on each front/rear sides will do the trick once in a while.

Having too much negative camber is not good. they car will handle like crap!!!

If you want better handling you want more castor not camber!.

As ppl have said get camber kits. Try doing a wheel alignment first also. Change all front usspension bushing if you have extra cash, they'll fix some of the camber. If your car is dump like mofo then live with the camber.

And what do you think castor does? It alters camber with steering angle. More caster = more turning camber.

I read some old threads from hondatech and alot of people has suffered from the ball joint ripping and the adjuster on the arm were bending. But skunk2 upgraded the balljoint but not too sure about the arm.

But probably go with ingalls.. thanks for your help :thumbsup:
