More camber in the front....?

[AznDrftr.]

Hmm i was wondering, would it be okay to grind some of the hole more in the coilover strut for added camber... and still be okay and safe.

Or is there another way to do so besides buyin some aftermarkt part?

[MrChow]

You don't have camber plates?? What coilover do you have??

How camber do you have now?

Sorry not to put more info.

Specs:

Megan Track Coils.

Camber all the way in, in the front.

[MrChow]

So you do have camber plates on right now that are maxed out right?
Um may I ask why you need more??

Bleh sorry for my english.

[AznDrftr.]

lol, i just dont want the tires to rub so much instead of raisin the car up.

[!Zar!]

I did that.

It worked.

Does that answer your question?

[MrChow]

I did that.

It worked.

Does that answer your question?
Hehe what mel said. Did it to my friends car.

[pr0ject TRUENO]

would you slot the top or bottom mounting hole

[AznDrftr.]

Slot the top hole. and slightly loosen the bottom one.

Only need the top to adjust.

Am i correct?

If so, thanks for the input.

[Touge180sx]

Correct, Its fine to do this, Alot of coilovers actually come like this already, Just make sure you dont make it to thin.

[Maiku240sxS14]

I don't have an answer to your question or even understand what you mean. lol I guess I'm the only one.

But I do know/heard to get more camber is that some people use a 12mm bolt on the bottom mount of the coilover. Sorry don't know what's it called, but the 2 bolts that are 14mm on the lower bracket. Use a 12mm bolt on the top with both bolt semi loose push the top of the coilover in and tighten. I don't know how much more camber it will give you but it will give you more than what you have now.

[AznDrftr.]

Okay thanks for all the inputs.

[AznDrftr.]

What did you guys use to drill out some of the hole?

[babowc]

Probably a drill!

[AznDrftr.]

Probably a drill!


oh shit! i didnt know that. :rl:

let me be more specfic, what kind of bit or tool did some of you guys use. sigh... :blah:

[lazysk8er2]

u could run a stretched tire if your worries about rubbing or possibly a small spacer.

im this this guy ^^^^^

or if you want to do more work here is what im doing(got the idea from SCC magazine volume 21 no.2)

Project S13's camber limitations were being caused by contact between the strut tower's support ring and the heads of the camber plates' inner bolts. Sunthonlap machined out the TEIN upper camber plates to allow more adjustment range and then drilled a set of holes in the top of each tower to provide clearance for the camber plates' bolts. A pair of chromoly rings were then cut and welded into each tower to provide structural support and our "Mickey Mouse" strut tower tops were done. 3.5-degrees negative camber each side without breaking a sweat.

if i find a digi cam i can take a pic of the entire article, or you can probably find it online or at bookstore

[drifter_for_life06]

or you can run just two top adjustment bolts....but i dont think that is safe so i dont recommend that...but just an idea for any retards out there that want to try and are too lazy to do it the right way

[5t341tH]

damn that is a great idea drifterforlife

[drifter_for_life06]

that it is :)

[AznDrftr.]

Hmm that seems like a good idea, hmm might try that.

[CamryOnBronze]

I was going to mention the SCC article as well, that's what I plan to do- seemed like the most legit setup. Good luck!
