How to get more camber- front wheels

[dued]

Hi, I drive an s14 with Megan street coils. I have the camber plates maxed out up front with ~ -1.5 camber in the front. I'd like to be at -2.5 and I wanted to know what parts I'd need to install to get there? I was reading about adjustable flcas, is that the only way other than notching the strut towers?

how are they maxed out at -1.5? out of the box they should be able to be much more negative than that...

[s14freak93901]

somethings wrong there. should be able to creat more then 1.5 neg.

Thanks for the replies, I'll take photos tomorrow of the camber plates to show the settings. Maybe the alignment place didn't know what they were doing.

alignment shops won't purposely max out your camber unless you asked them to.

why do you want more camber up front? to go lower?

[hotlavaflow]

flca is the easiest route to crazy camber but your plates should give you the 2.5 you want. I have Oni-kyan but that's with plates maxed and flca's.

Look at the camber adjustment bolts and make sure you have them set up correctly. They should be close to each other and in the alignment holes closest to the fender.

adjust the front camber plate.. or try some q45 front lower control arm?

[Matej]

Are Q45 FLCA's longer than S14 ones? I thought they were the same size, if not shorter.

[iLagX]

lol, i dont know... haven't really compare it. they almost look the same or maybe i was looking at j30.

i am pretty sure they only messed with ecentric bushings and not the actual camber plate itself with only -1.5

I have lots of camber. im only half way on my coils, Invest in camber bolts, and slot the coils.

Also, I've got 17X9 +17 on 225/45's up front if that matters.

Move the two bolts to the middle.

Now you have more space to get more camber.

Precisely what I was talking about.

Thanks for all the replies - should I adjust these bolts with the car on or off the ground?

If you can adjust the camber plate with the car on the ground, then kudos, because I don't know anyone that have done that yet.

[s14freak93901]

pic showed it all. move the bolt over. done!

I did. Took about 20 whacks with a rubber mallet, but it worked. Granted my coilovers don't have the adjustment knob on the top... can't guarantee banging those things won't cause damage.

[laocivic]

also..for different coilovers the top hole on the collar is a lil bit wider. this can give you some adjustment.
