Camber kit help?

Zeto · 10-25-2010, 12:17 PM

Does anyone know of a vendor that sells both SPL and SPC? Also do front camber arms make a big difference?

NewYorkJon34 · 10-25-2010, 12:20 PM

Your better off just looking for the best deal online, but I believe Z1 has both. I don't think the front kit is needed. I have the rear spc kit, and my car feels great.

yeah if you lowering on coil overs and on a very low reading then you might need front camber arms.

Zeto · 10-25-2010, 01:45 PM

I think I'm going to go with the SPLs since I do track the car. I'm on stock suspension. What kills me is that on the stock suspension the camber on one side goes to -2.5 and the other -1.8 with 0 toe.

Let me know if anyone has any for sale

If your on stock suspension, why do you need the camber arms?

Zeto · 10-25-2010, 02:27 PM

Because i want more negative camber.

PM Ryan@Forged He's a vendor here and they sell both SPC and SPL. Note, SPL doesn't have a front kit.

Much appreciated!

Consider this...if you increase negative camber in the front, you can improve turn in response and greatly reduce/eliminate understeer. I'm currently running -2.2 camber and toe neutral up front...wow, what a big difference compared to before! Still handles well and is stable in a straight line for daily driving. You can't adjust front camber without an aftermarket camber kit.

True... thanks for the insight!

Those with the front SPC camber kits, how much camber do you have now after the install? Also, please mention how much your car is lowered.

Those with the rear SPC kit, has anyone gotten their camber to -1.5 without issues? -2.0 is too much for me in the rear.

I prefer factory alignment specs is possible.

djpathfinder · 11-03-2010, 01:53 PM

My car is lowered 0.75" front and 0.5" rear. I have SPC front and rear kits. My alignment is for aggressive street and occasional track use. The specs are:
-2.2 front (toe neutral), -2.0 rear (toe -0.15). Seems to be working well for me.

Bringing the front camber to around -2 will greatly improve turn in and reduce understeer. In the rear, -2.2 is the inner limit of acceptable camber range according to factory.

ChrisSlicks · 11-03-2010, 02:15 PM

The SPC kit can add a lot more camber than it can subtract. Before I lowered the car I was at about -3.0 front, -1.6 rear, but you could probably get between -1.5 and -2.0 up front. Lowered it could be more difficult to get the front within stock alignment range with the SPC kit.
