Aggressive neg camber after spacer install!.....

PersianLegacy · 09-16-2013, 02:14 PM

hey forum,

so a few weeks ago i finally got around and installed 20 ml H&R spacers (bolt on) on the rear of my 2010 sports package Z.

i have noticed that now the rear has one aggressive neg camber!! it a point that after driving the car for 2 weeks i gotta get new rear tire cause inner wall feels like someone took a cheese grader to it!!

anyone else had this issue?...

Are you on stock springs?

PersianLegacy · 09-16-2013, 02:39 PM

yes.

I have 20mm H&R's on mine and have not had any sort of issue.

Haboob · 09-16-2013, 02:47 PM

I believe the camber stayed the same. I have before and after at similar (though not the same) angles and the camber is more noticeable OEM in the photos, but in person it's just as much as OEM.

Can you post pictures of the tires?

I also have 20mm spacers all around and have alignment issues, but no neg camber issues

Boomer370 · 09-16-2013, 03:14 PM

I'm running 20mm and 30mm on mine without any issues.

I will take some pics. guess i just have to get an alignment done, but just wanted to see if i was the only one with this issue.

Haboob · 09-16-2013, 03:52 PM

I didn't even get an alignment done.

I will check my tires when I get home tonight, but the spacers have been on since... February I think? And the tires themselves still look almost new at 16k mi.

I believe that you might have toe issues unrelated to the spacer. Spacers do not change your camber....

Why would camber be involved with spacers?

Longer lever arm.
