Camber options.
Hey guys wondering how I should get more front camber. I am lowered 1.2 inches on springs. Have 14mm cam bolts in the bottom hole and crash bolts in the top hole. Currently maxed out a -1.8 camber. Would like to achieve -2.5.
So the options I have come up with are, Option 1, Run a 16mm cam bolt in the strut top hole in addition to the 14mm cam bolt I already have in the bottom hole. Option 2, slot the top hole in the strut and continue to use the 14mm crash bolt in the top hole along with the 14mm camber bolt in the bottom hole. Option 3, slot the 3 holes where the strut mounts to the body. However I'm of the understanding that camber at the hub is more desirable than camber achieved at the top of the strut. Forgot to mention that I do not want to run camber plates as they are far too expensive. Thanks for the help. Last edited by yzf219; 10-14-2020 at 12:52 PM. Reason: Edit 1 |

I dont believe option 1 will benefit any more than current. Option 2 could but I don't think it's necessary. I dont know that I would cut my strut tower in any way like Option 3 |

Camber plates are much better than screwing around with bolts plus you have a lot more options.

DO NOT start cutting slots bigger in the structure of your car or strut.
Save up your money to buy camber plates and do it right or leave it as it is for now. This is not a 1999 Civic sedan! Why are you after so much camber anyway? What size wheels/tires are you running?

Do you perhaps think it could be from my drop that I'm not getting enough camber? From my understanding our cars being a MacPherson design in front and only gains camber up to 1" of travel anything after we lose camber? So if I'm dropped 1.2" could that be where some of my camber is going? Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk |
