Rear Camber

[Gus]

for some reason my rear camber bothers me a lot....maybe because i have 17's on at the moment and can see it hard out....the only article ive read about rear camber is the one on e30m3performance.com (??) and im not profficient in welding...and would be reluctant to give my subframe to someone with those instructions....are there any decent camber kits? my car is lowered prob around 40mm...camber is -2.3' last alignment.....and it still within factory specs but it bothers me! suggestions?? ive seen some low low car pics on the board with normal cambered rear wheels..how do they do it? ideally would like around -1.3' or so on the back

Re: Rear Camber

are there any decent camber kits?

k-mac dude. if you want, i can prolly get em pretty cheap. they are local, and i got hookups. shipping across the Ditch wouldnt be too much either.

lemme know

320$ US....wow......not cheap! how adjustable are they? does anyone have a photo or diagram on how they work....would be reluctant to pay that much for something i cant even see!

Let me get this straight? you DON'T want camber??? :shock:

O MAN! I Kill for Camber! Curretly I have one of the craziest Cambered e30 running around TO. I absolutely love the look, and the function! True tires get killed on the inside, but meh, its all in the name of fun!

Your car is stupidly low - there is no point - take it round a track and feel how crap it is. Stock shocks - super low not captive springs - what a winning combo!

Gus runs a similar setup to me - I have 40mm drop Jamex springs with Bilstein Sports and have -1.6 deg camber. You forgot to add gus you've had an accident also although you do have a new subframe.

That has to be one of the stupidest comments I have read on this board.

You don't want gobs of negative camber on the rear of these cars to begin with. Not to mention the fact that you're pulling quite a bit more than you would have up front. You're creating understeer in the turns, and reducing your straightline stability and traction under acceleration.

i would like to have more on the front than the back, why anyone would want rear camber on a street car is beyond me....exiting turns with no grip? fun......real fun! jake..what sorta $$ in aussie/nz pesos would you be looking at for kmacs?

Stupidly low? That cannot exist.... 8)

Camber looks sweet to me, my car is a cruiser, NOT a track car, not yet. As far as my setup, I shoul have new shox soon, so stop breakign my balls, ok? :roll:

il let u know. i gotta see my susp man tommorow.

[Streetspec_iS]

ok, the price will probly be under 300$AU. but willl probly be able to better that. esp if i get a kit at the same time too. saying that, my rear camber isnt that bad, so i dont know if i will be getting one anytime soon. let me know if u interested.

[Gus]

sounds good actually...is that shipped? i wouldnt be getting one anytime soon either...if you are keen i would be too...group buy (ish?) just give me advance notice and it should be great...does it need welding or is it a bolt on thing?

[808BMW]

Yeah, is that shipped?
Can I get in too? I'm pretty sure I can secure some funds, and I need some rear camber adjustment.

nah, that price isnt shipped, but i dont think shipping would be too dear. at least not to NZ. to hawaii, that may be a different story, but still, i dont think they weigh much. il let u know when i hear a final price. i may be able to setup a GB. if i can get a good deal, and can set up the GB, i will post a thread sumwhere.
