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.

The help you get is proportional to the effort you apply.

Directly or inversely? Be specific ;)

J8635621 06-01-2011 11:52 AM

Inversely to trolls and directly for real

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

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!
