Camber Issues
Hey Guys,
Since this is my first car and all, I'm learning slowly but surely. I took my frs into the dealership for an alignment after lowering the car on BC coils. I came up with some weird results in my mind. I have 0/-0.05 toe in the front 0.05/0.05 toe in the rear Then it gets weird. -1.10/-0.90 camber in the front -3.20/-2.70 camber in the rear ? The dealership didn't change my camber at all, fixed my toe and then still charged me the $100. What do I need to fix this problem?

Aftermarket rear lower control arms w/ camber adjustment. You lowering the suspension affects the rear camber but it can't be corrected because there is no adjustment available with the factory arms.

The easiest way to get the rear camber in check after lowering the car is to install adjustable rear lower control arms. I have the basic SPC ones which are pretty inexpensive. If you would like to even out the camber in the front and maybe dial a little more in, try out front camber bolts. These will be the cheapest options to get your camber adjustable.

Rear arms should be sufficient to get the rear end where you want it. Did you get the BCs without front camber plates or are there plates that the dealership just didn't adjust. If you care about performance then "spec" isn't necessarily what you should be looking for. Also dealerships usually aren't the best place to go for a performance oriented alignment. |

The SPC Arms are supposed to be able to correct +/- 2 degrees. The aluminum ones (lots of people that make them) provide more adjustability, but at a higher price.

If daily, I would probably do something like -2 front camber, -1 to -1.5 rear camber. Will transform the car from stock spec and not really affect tire life. On my track setup, I run -3F, -2R on street tires (Bridgestone RE71R). |

Also yes I do have camber plates for the front, just not the rear.

There's no camber adjustment stock, so I bet they didn't even look under the hood to see the camber plates in the front.
Skip the camber bolts since you already have plates, and get some rear LCA's.
