So I need MORE negative camber...
 
I was able to kick the negative camber out on the stock accentrics to -3 in the rear and -2 in front. The thing is I don't want to lower my car any more to get more camber, I'm very satisfied with the hieight its at now.
*So my question is, what brand makes a good adjustable control arm that will allow me to get more NEGATIVE camber without adjusting my height?*

My camber in front is perfect, but the back needs more, so I'm looking for rear adjustable arms.
I'm on Tein S-techs and Koni-Yellows. Wheels in the fron are 18x8.5 +30 and 19x10 +20 in the rear. The tires are 255 in front and 275 in the rear; no stretch on either and I plan on keeping it that way.
My fenders are rolled and pulled out 1/2" on each side, the rear bumper has also been widened to align with the fenders. I still rub more than I would like this is why I want more negative camber in the rear.
Any help is appreciated, please no trolling for whatever reason.

Thanks
~Danny

Why are you asking again? You didn't head anyone's advice in your last thread :dunno:

If you must, megan make adjustable rear links for relatively cheap. Not sure how much more adjustment you'd really get out of them though. @ -3 in the rear and looking for more, be glad you went with 275's. It will be like having a 205 as far as what actually ever touches the ground.

People helped a lot in the last thread! They told me about how the stock was adjustable. And the guy who kept talking about the "tabs" def helped. Last thread I needed camber, period; now I need MORE camber hahaha. The megan racing ones can go more negative right? Because in the description I saw it only talked about making it closer to zero.

but thanks :)

Ask this guy, I'm sure he can point you in the right direction.

That scion... oh god. i'm looking for like -5 tops... thats still barely noticeable.

J8635621 05-29-2011 07:57 PM

barely noticeable? You need to get your seeing eye dog recalibrated

have you ever seen camber in person? My rears are at -3.2 right now and unless someone knows what they're looking at they wouldn't even be able to tell. Yes of course it is noticeable but its not as extreme as you're making it out to be. My friends s2k is at -5 camber for daily driving and yes its noticeable, but again not extreme.
Plus, I like the way camber looks as long as its not excessive like that disgusting scion. Take a look at my pictures, can you see excessive camber at -3.2? No. dumb fuck.

dannobre 05-29-2011 08:13 PM

Why would you want that much camber....you say you can't notice it...so it must not be for looks ;)

J8635621 05-29-2011 08:22 PM

I really don't understand this guy. I think he needs some camber tires. http://www.cambertire.com/

LOL so he can't get rid of it.

Have you ever seen length? Have you ever seen width? Have you ever seen circumference? They are missing. They ran away and I must find them.

Obviously its not for looks, its so my wheels stop rubbing.

RIWWP 05-29-2011 08:44 PM

In that case, just raise your car a bit. Mine dont rub at all.

Lol. Google rx8 rear camber. Your answer awaits.

dannobre 05-29-2011 11:44 PM

Or you could buy wheels and tires that fit :)

fuztupnz 05-30-2011 01:47 AM

I think what's really missing here is that thing that fills the space between his ears.

awwqpwwa 05-30-2011 03:19 AM

maybe you can cut your rear subframe bushings so you can go M0aR l0w3r!! = more camber = rear rake = future of h3lla flusH!!

Pics of rear please? I want to see how noticeable is not-noticeable.

Munchy 05-30-2011 02:54 PM

im not hating on the guy, but his threads are pretty LOL

my best advice is LISTEN TO WHAT OTHERS ARE TELLING YOU, so far you've done the exact opposite

that's what I did and it more or less worked out.

Not really. its called aggressive fitment, just go look at my newest album and you'll see the pics of the -3.2 camber in the rear. You can barely tell, but its all there. All someone needs to answer me is if the megan racing adjustable control arms can be adjusted to be more negative, thats all I'm asking. Because on all the description it only talks about "correcting" camber.

So Team I guess we would consider your example "aggressive surgery" by this logic.

Danmn858 - Really just curious, but what are spring spacers?

The Megan arms should offer more negative camber, but try contacting them, or JIC, for verification.

fuztupnz 06-01-2011 04:53 AM

Tilt, if he's using spring spacers as I know them, they're little wedges that get jammed in between two winds of the coil, not letting them compress, thus raising the car and ruining the performance of the spring. No idea why he'd be using them as it's counter productive to what he's trying to do. :dunno:

I would have mentioned JIC in my first post but realized he doesn't seem to want to do it right, so he wouldn't spend the money on the good stuff anyway.

Spring spacers were taken out after I put the Koni Yellow's in. I needed them in before because my driver's shock was blown and sagged way to much.
I would spend the money on JIC but I didn't know about them until you just mentions them, the only ones I saw were megan racing control arms.
Question though, why do the JIC ones look so different from the megan racing ones?
But really trolling needs to stop.
Its really annoying, I'm posting here for help and I'm barely getting any.

Directly or inversely? Be specific ;)

J8635621 06-01-2011 11:52 AM

Inversely to trolls and directly for real

dannobre 06-01-2011 12:41 PM

The Megan arms will allow you to add as much camber as you want. I have the full set and likely could get 6+ degrees if I wanted too.

The point we are trying to make her is WHY would you do all of this to setup your suspension Wrong to get the wrong set of wheels to fit

Danmn858 06-01-2011 12:47 PM

There is no such thing is "wrong wheels"
these are the wheels they I like, I want them on my car and will make them fit.
Thank you for the information about the megan racing arms, really the only useful information I have got thus far.

RIWWP 06-01-2011 12:49 PM

Actually, everyone is giving you useful information, you are just choosing to ignore it and take a great looking and great handling car and turn it into a retardly mutilated car with severely compromised handling.

We take offense at you destroying a machine we love and tarnishing the image of the club.

J8635621 06-01-2011 01:32 PM

I think it's awesome you are gonna have crazy camber and everything in the back and the front isnt even flush lol. Well played

Munchy 06-01-2011 06:40 PM

buying wheels and making them fit to the car as opposed to buying wheels to fit the car.

i guess that's the definition of aggressive fitment.

awwqpwwa 06-01-2011 07:31 PM

you should put the 19's on the front.

the front is more than flush... I have 255's in front with +30 offset. I have -2 camber set to the front to tuck the wheels under the fender.
but i think the first part of your statement is a compliment, so thanks?

I can't help but recommend either a narrower tire or going a bit lower before giving more negative camber. Loads of negative camber will look a bit on the silly side if you aren't tucking tire.

Just an opinion - if all you care about is clearing the fender and aren't able to get new tires, then by all means, go for it.

The tire is in the fender, thats why it rubs so much. Thats why i need the negative camber. Thanks for the help, I want to keep these tires though.

J8635621 06-02-2011 11:41 AM

And he disregards the advice of yet another.

RIWWP 06-02-2011 11:45 AM

I'm trying to figure out why he is even here. He is taking a car and destroying the good points without gaining anything in return, asking for advice but then not heeding a single bit of it...

Seems like he can do that easily enough without even visiting this site.

From the looks of your pictures, you aren't tucking tire; I don't doubt that the setup rubs though.

Good luck sorting things out!
