    Cheap Way to Correct my Camber??

    Well I know there are available some camber correct plates out there, but I'm budget now, and was wondering if there is any info or home made correct camber plates , cuz my front cmaber is so negative that my tire will run in bad way.

    And I don't want to fuck up my new tires. :P

      there is some way to make my own custom ones? I don't want to spend 120$ or so in buying one of those in ebay just for money issues, I already spent $250 fucking dollars in my new amp. since the old one went to hell.

      Also I'm saving for my next project, Turbocharge my Stroker Jeep with the that mosnter T4 that I have.

      There must be somewhere or somone that made this setup in the past, if I have the idea clearly, i can copy them in my shopp easily and cheap. :P

        Don't be cheap, if you can spend $250 on a frickin amplifier, spend the money on a nice quality set of camber plates like Ground Control.

          put your rear subframe in a vice and bend it in the middle.

            Damm I'm trying to get the idea but my english is not helping me out in this one!! lol

            Any other ay to explain it carefully? I mean what is exactly the subframe, I mean what part are you refering and what is "vice"?

            Thanks

            PS: Btw...I'm talking about the front, not the rear.

              P.S.: He was kidding.

              P.P.S.: Get some camber plates. Non-adjustable ones can be found as cheap as $100.

                the ghetto way to correct front camber......(altho i would never do this on any car i own):
                slot the three holes on the strut towers where the strut bearing bolts to.
                i'm sure removing that material would probably weaken the mounting surface....and unless you using a washer that will bite down on the metal and/or a locking nut, you'd probably want to check the hardware on the strut towers often.

                  Anyone know of any good camber plates that use the stock diameter springs? Most of the solid plates out there are for 2.5 ID race springs.

                      You looking for adjustable or fixed? I run RRT fixed plates on my M3, adds 1.25 degrees, pretty solid plates, but they'll raise your car 3/8" or so.

                        www.bmwbushings.com has a set of camber plates for less than $100, but they also raise the car.

                            Those looks good TJ, and are not that expensive, I can pay it in few days, but it says will add "Allows approximately 3-1/4 degrees of negative camber" and I have negative camber already, I want postive since mine is very negative.

                              Bend the strut tubes.

                              And a vice.
