After a period of time the spring will settle thus lower tbe height thus more -ve camber.
Regarding the spacers, imagine the rotor/hub are not facing out at 0 degree, about 1.5-2.0 degree facing upward. When extending the trackwidth with spacers, the wheel is not just extending outward horizontally but upward along the axis of the camber, I hope you understanding what I am talking.
When this happen, I am wondering is there any affect on the camber.

I hope some guru in here can chip in.

Running the board favourite here, too:
- Swift SpecR
- H&R 15mmF / 20mmR
- RE-11 265/35-19F / 285/35-19R
- SPC Camber Kit

ZMan8 · 03-27-2012, 09:07 PM

I'm thinking of this set up for starters:

15 MM f, 15 r
Swift springs
SPL camber arms in rear (front hopefully i can get in spec)

Yah, I wouldn't sweat that too much. Unless you're totally postwhoring, it will take a millennium to make it to 14k posts.

Hold on now, you've left a question unanswered! You're not doing your diplomatic duty!

What's the effect on camber from a 15/20 spacer AND NOTHING ELSE?

Ha. I did spacers first (by themselves) and was in-spec in the rear.

You'll wish you got 20mm for the rear, trust me.

Yeah I'll see when I order them. I'm still not completely decided. Mr. Kenchan did mention that 20's on stock tires make the rear look funny.

slowly but surely...

Mr. Onzedge, and anybody else can chime in, when you put spacers on did it make the brake calipers look weird because they become more sunk in?

Anybody have a side shot handy.

In my opinion, 15 is just right.
