this is straight off tein spec sheet that was with springs, stock height is 345 and should go to 325, but mine went to 355 when we measured at workshop. fulcrum are confused as well but know it's not right, they said let it settle but it obviously won't settle 30mm but it was 4:45pm in queensland and I think they just wanted to go home so said that ha ha bastards

what do you have to adjust your camber front and rear?

Nothin! No enough drop to affect anything too drastically. Might give a little negish camber but thats all.

Yeh the current camber is fine but i want some more so I need to get bolts for front and arms for rear to give that extra adjustment.

so what's the max -ve camber the front can go without additional parts?

when we took off the OEM tyres, the outside is wearing more than the inside so i'm planning a bit more -ve.

i noticed that with my current tyres and ive just got stock suspension aswell

^ yeah, i definitely want more -ve camber on the front and i hope i don't need sussy parts to do that. if i do i might as well get some lowering springs.

btw typercivic, did you get your Tein springs locally? if so, how much did you pay if you don't mind me asking.

**Nepolian** · 20-06-2008 10:08 AM

Camber is not adjustable on the stock suspension. You need to get camber bolts and rear upper arms to do it right! I have actually just ordered some front ones. PM me if youre interested

^ oh damn.... pm sent.

**SuperSteve** · 20-06-2008 10:47 AM

how about a wheel alignment would that help in anyway ??

**Philip Lee** · 20-06-2008 10:48 AM

^ if not much adjustment is possible, then an alignment won't do much.

**SuperSteve** · 20-06-2008 10:51 AM

dam :\

Well, it really depends on your current alignment. Too much toe out will cause premature wear on the outside and vice versa.

It never hurts to have it aligned. But adjustments would be limited!
