Camber kits (and poor design)

[beeza]

But like Zdster says you may not even need one.
Zdster PM'ed me this great info:

"Odds are, you probably wont even need a camber kit - as long as you get your toe as close to zero as possible.

If you can get your toe to zero and your camber is roughly even on both sides, then all you need to do is rotate your tyres every 5/10,000km and you should be fine.

My car is lowered at the moment (on pretty hard coilovers) and runs 15's (an ek hatch), my toe is zero and have about -2degrees of camber with no camber kit and is perfect."

Thanks Zdster.Hope U can use it too mate

Gonna add to this...

AVOID THESE ONES for the fronts:



The tightening bolt on the left ALWAYS comes lose regardless how tight you do it up and is dangerous as it dynamically shifts camber on the slightest bumps especially on wet roads. Only suitable for regular trackers who always fiddle with sussy.

The only thing that will redeem that design are spring washers but you can't take that bolt off so nay...

looks like its a nut to me

it's not, i have it

[bennjamin]

probably needs a washer under the nut to hold it in place once properly torqued.
(washer spreads and grips....hopefully)
Still dont look like a very safe design tho.

nah it's not safe at all trust me, don't care if any other big name brand makes this but steer clear of it!!!

car drives itself when even 1 of the 4 comes loose... i'd love to be able to put a spring washer on it but design prohibits it.

no thats the old shit one which Zdster was warning against....

the clamp used in Pro(+) is much better to keep the mounting flat and resist distortion.

I also just checked their website and it seems they have revised the tuner series....

I was also under the impression they widened the inside track where the balljoint slides as i have actually seen some on the net with it... was sure it was the skunk2 pro
