Installed coilover; Too much camber in the back.

you absolutely need an alignment after you change your suspension. that has nothing to do with drifting or liking camber or whatever. if you seriously intend to use this car in a sporting matter, an alignment should be the absolute first thing you do, even if you are running the car stock

Whoa whoa whoa, I never said I wouldn't get an alignment. I always get alignments after dropping or raising a car. I just wanted to know the stock camber is so I can guess how much I need to adjust camber or maybe not even at all. There are so many other suspension adjustments than just camber. But more than likely I'll likely be leaving camber alone if my 1.5 inch drop gets me around negative 1.5-2 degrees of camber.

haha okay. i guess it just didnt make much sense how you phrased that imo. you are probably going to want to change the alignment since the oem alignment is more a less a range. often times you get cars out of the box with asymmetric alignments and they are designed for tire life and safety. what i would do is look to some of the race shops on the forum and see what they run on their street cars. better yet, buy a lifetime alignment and just play with it to see what works for you

That;s exactly what I'm gonna do!

Im on Fortune Auto 500s. Youre definitely lower then me though.

I know you are going for a "look", but the car will handle better, ride better, and have less camber issues if you just raised it up a bit. Suspension travel is your friend.

Since we can't ajust the rear camber OEM on our car I want to know if with the same or other suspension setup you got the same problem. Pictures are welcome.

So my wheels are 17X8 +38 on OEM tire.

The option could be the Cusco rear control arm but theirs is no spec of how much degre we can correct camber... I just don't want to spend 500$ and still have the same problem.

Looks great!!!!

Thanks :P I'll guess I'll try this on the track with the camber and take temperature reading on my tires...

That's excessive rear camber for the track too. You don't want that much back there.

Usually trackers and drifter require more camber in the front than back but I think this is more about looks than functionality.

Well I want it to look crazy as now minus the rear camber. I'll order Cusco lower arm to resolve everything. I'll update this thread when aligned.

It will easily correct the -2.5 degrees of camber and give you a nicer piece and looks much better especially from the rear.

I am installing the KW V3's this coming Friday as well as the rear camber correction from Cusco or Whiteline.

We are in Mississauga and are the master warehouse for most major suspension companies. We keep the Cusco and Whiteline products in stock in our Mississauga location so that you don't have to deal with the border and all its brokerage and taxes. We ship all over Canada next day UPS so if your ready for it give me a call or pm.

Thank you

A big thanks to this guy and Johnston Research & Performance. In less than 4 hour we contact, made arrangement and he ship my Cusco lower arm for tomorrow! And no duty to pay for Canadian. Thanks again, my car will be align on friday!

Dude pm when you get them i want to see them since i am right about to order a set as well!

False, you can never have too much camber. Wheels must be at -90 camper at all times!
