Max Camber

[frizzle]

Pretty sure its been answered before, but I cant find it. Im wondering what you guys are using to get that crazy camber in front? Im at -3* right now with PBM first gen coils and camber plates maxxed out, and im trying to get to about -5* to -6*. I do not want to run a smaller bolt as a fear of it backing out some how. I do have adjustable FLCA's now, but was told that would do shit for me. Is my only option to notch the camber plates?

[ILoveMyRHS13]

You could notch the top hole in the bottom mount of the coilovers.

[drifter808]

Just drill a new top hole in the coilover mount. Did mine and now with camber plate all the way positive it's around -7.

[Lukasss]

You could notch the top hole in the bottom mount of the coilovers.

Thats what I did, Im at about -5* right now, but i could easily go to about -7*

Basically made it look like this

Thats what I did, Im at about -5* right now, but i could easily go to about -7*

What did you use to slot the hole?

[Lukasss]

Thats not the picture of my coilover or anything lol, but it essentially looks like that.

I used a Dremel.
Ive seen people use a drill press and it came out nice, but the Dremel was much easier.

[Matej]

After slotting my mounts, I used these tab washers that normally come with those silly camber kits. They work great for keeping the bolts in place in the widened holes.

[Lukasss]

Shit. I like that idea^

Gonna pick some up tomorrow lol

[Tempo]

noob question but, Drilling the bottom hole on the front coils is the only way to get -5 camber up front? There isn't a kit out there i can buy?

[Enna]

You drill the top hole in the lower mount, not the bottom hole. Easier and cheaper than trying to get custom adjustable LCA's for camber.

[Pandapants]

I do have adjustable FLCA's now, but was told that would do shit for me.

Since you have them, why don't you play with the lengths and see if they give you the results youre looking for before you go hacking up your coilovers.

[pinkarrowsnow]

the longer the LCA the more camber gets added. Thats how all the pro drift cars get crazy camber up front lots of LCA adjustment.

[MeanS14]

Someone correct me if im wrong but wont extending the flca's just move the bottom of the wheel out and do nothing for his fender clearance issue? I guess extending them essentially does increase the camber but I dont think it will help him at all

Weird...I can get -5.5 with my buddyclub coils without notching. I also don't have camber plates, but yea I guess you have to do some notching.

[ILoveMyRHS13]

At least you don't own an S13. I have my PBM's maxed out at 2.2*. Luckily I have S14 LCAs to put on. Shooting for 5-6* haha.

[Lukasss]

When you extend the FLCA, it pushes the entire wheel out further too.

Correct me if I'm wrong ?

[Matej]

Shit. I like that idea^

Weird, i keep hearing people talk about drilling a slot in the top hole of the bracket of their front coils, but both my Silkroad RM/A8 sets come with the slot already there.... guess it just depends on which model coil you have :l101:

When I was running crazy camber I just slotted the coil mount like everyone said
http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss54/TK3791/securedownload4-Copy.jpg

[90240sx07]

so if you slot it is it possible to run lets say -2 for daily and like -5 for a drift day?

[az_240]

I'm no expert but doesnt slotting the coils top hole for more camber mess with (lowers it?) kingpin inclination angle?

Assuming he is running near stock caster wouldn't it be better to extend the FLCAs for a wider track/more neg camber while maintaining the stock knuckle to coil mount configuration?

I'm just going off what I see here
The Ultimate Handling Guide Part 8: Understanding Your Caster, King Pin Inclination and Scrub (http://www.motoiq.com/magazine_articles/articletype/articleview/articleid/1982/pageid/3201/the-ultimate-handling-guide-part-8-understanding-your-caster-king-pin-inclination-and-scrub.aspx)

I guess if all you guys want is more neg camber for the look it works

[Teh Luckinator]

does anyone have a picture of their slotted holes? at first i was gonna slot it like... 2 holes big, but then i started looking at 326power coilovers, and that shit is nuts. was gonna do this, and then run like a 25mm spacer or something to clear the coilover. thoughts?

and here are 326power ones, they're already offset:

how much camber are you dudes running after slotting it?

maybe i'll just drill another hole instead of slotting.

^problem? Am I missing something?

[Lukasss]

Just the fact that no fucks are supposed to be given.

[icedsole]

yo friz ill post a pic of mine a bit in a little bit. my top holes are slotted a lot.

my camber plates are dead center/a little positive and i have about -9 right now
i think.

[thefro526]

If you're going to slot the top bolt hole on your coil yourself, I'd suggest you do it on a mill. It'll be really easy to keep the slots straight and true compared to a dremel or something similar.

[snoops14]

can anyone post a picture of their coilovers slotted to get an idea?

[edmorl]

how are you guys getting so much with the PBM coilovers ?

I have maxed negative with my camber plates on an s13 (with stock s13 flca) and all I can get is -1 upfront

[az_240]

Just the fact that no fucks are supposed to be given.

Sounded like OP was trying to avoid negative handling effects. Wasn't sure if this was a form over function thread or not...

I do have adjustable FLCA's now, but was told that would do shit for me.

He's got adjustable LCAs....Lots of racecars lengthen LCAs for better track and more neg camber with good results. Why not just do this?

[pacotaco345]

Look at the first picture, he needs to move the top of the tire in, not the bottom of the tire out. Besides 2* is plenty of camber for handling benefits.

[fckillerbee]

if you move the bottom out, it will bring in the top. it doesn't pivot at the top of the wheel.


fyi...LCA's can adjust camber.

[Lukasss]

The hole is extended to an inch across.

It's not pretty but it's even all around and gets me up to 8* if I desire.

I'm assuming that your mount is flipped?

(Just asking to avoid confusion, since normally people slot the opposite hole.)

yeah wtf is this. that does not look right

[articdragon192]

fyi...LCA's can adjust camber.

In my experience with working with Bimmers, where camber adjustment is at the LCA, adding camber through the LCA does minimal for tire and wheel clearances. Since you're basically pushing the LCA out, pushing the lower part of the wheel out, instead of bringing the top of the wheel in. Both do the same thing with regards to adjusting camber, but both do not do the same with regards to fitting wheels/tires within the fender.

[thefro526]

yeah wtf is this. that does not look right

Pretty sure he runs his mounts upside down. Not all that uncommon, bros have been doing it for years to get another inch or so of lowering. Just asked to add clarification.

[Lukasss]

Yeah it's flipped.
Common thing....

Should have clarified.

either i don't know how long an inch is, or you're talking about something else. haha. i was assuming you meant you made the top hole an inch. but damn, maybe i shouldn't slot the shit out of it, and just barely open it up.

[Lukasss]

It's just under and inch across.

Since the mount is flipped, the bottom hole is now the top hole.
That is the hole I widened. Since its the top when on the coilover.

THIS!!! Its the same for the rear suspension on my 350z. Ive had my spl RLCA adjusted all the way out and it did nothing for the fender to wheel clearance on the top part of the wheel

Holy FUCK that is awesome. got any pics of what your extended hole looks like? have the same coils

recently called PBM about their LCA's, when asked how much camber i could run with them "more than anyone can use"

also their new released coils are offset holes

Looks good frizzle

[Bushido]

so did you slot the brackets?

[frizzle]

Sorry bros I didnt snap any pics of the slotted holes, but they look like the green ones above just slotted more . Lol!

[Lukasss]

You dont have to do much to get like that like my picture up there.

Just make the hole longer toward the strut..its really easy.
Like i said, from one side to the other side of the slotted hole is about an inch.
and i can go to about -8 degrees or so.

Looks good though sir. need to get that bumper back on to see what i looks like.

also also: is slotting coils considered safe for daily driving? been considering doing this for some time now.

I drive my car A LOT, and it hasnt given me a problem in the last month or so at all.
I even double checked to see if it moved or anything and its still solid.

[!Zar!]

I would just drill another hole instead of slotting.

[Irresistible]

Do you have to have them evenly slotted on each bracket?

[EhrikETFG]

I would just drill another hole instead of slotting.
I would just drill another hole instead of slotting.

[Lukasss]

Drilling another hole would make sense, but only if you were going for a shitload of - camber. itd have to be far from the original hole so it didnt overlap, and the farther back, obviously the more camber.

An entire inch wide is only about half another bolt length.

[TheRealSy90]

Mine are slotted and i've been dailying my car for a while now, no problems. I'm thinking about slotting it as far as possible just to see the outcome.

[dreaMervaj]

your camber plates look like this already right?

http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/1795/photocio.jpg

Noob question but is this camber set at super negative or positive?

[!Zar!]

Max negative camber.

[ezza]

how much camber is good for skidding?

[!Zar!]

Depends on ride height and caster settings.


For the front you basically want enough camber so that your front leading tire has the full face touching the ground at lock.

In the rear normally -1.5*

[ezza]

thanks, i think im going to have slight rubbing issues upfront but my camber plates are maxed out, il see how it is when i finally get it on the road

[OBEEWON]

Slotting the bracket also helps with the wheel angle at full lock. instead of driving on your sidewall you get good contact patch action.

Its almost like trying to lick a girls nipple while you are both laying on your back vs. licking it while on your side. Everyone will be a lot happier once you figure it out.

[dreaMervaj]

I put 255 40's on my MB Battles and it's rubbing in the front. Would adjust the camber fix this? Or would it make things worst?

I'm also debating if a 5mm slip on make it clear....

Help out camber gurus.

[OBEEWON]

What is it rubbing?

The solution so far is NEI.

[!Zar!]

Rubbing where?

[dreaMervaj]

Why are you running such a large tire in the front?

[dreaMervaj]

Why are you running such a large tire in the front?

Got them for free and thought they would fit!? Would a 245/235 clear the coilover?

[Dustxking]

try more of a 225/40 or if its a 17 try a 215/45.

[dreaMervaj]

Would a set of 5mm slip on spacers be enough to clear my coils? Dammit.

And 215/225? That seems too narror compare to the 255's in the rear.

[Irresistible]

No. A 1mm spacer would be enough.

Honestly, we can't tell you because we don't know how much it rubs. And why are you running such wide tires? Try 215/45 F 235/40 R. Spacers may fix your coil rubbing issue, but cause you to rub your fenders.

Are 255's super wide for everyone here? Does everyone run 215 on 9.5's and 10's? I wanted some traction in the rear and I got the other pair for free so I said wth why not.

Yeah I'm gonna go find a 1mm spacer to try. Thanks.

Maxing out your negative camber on a drift car is important so when you're at full lock you can utilize your tire's maximum contact patch. This is of course achieved with a huge amount of negative camber and properly modified steering components. IE. Knuckles, FLCA's tie rods ect... to avoid affecting your roll center and ackerman line.

See other thread related to this

but yes, maxing out negative camber for a "street" car is just for looks

A 3mm spacer will prob fix your problems, if you were able to drive before you noticed it rubbed it has to be barely rubbing. Go to pep boys and pick up a little 3mm spacer set for like 10 bucks and try it out.

[az_240]

Those spacers kinda suck but I guess it works for a temporary fix. I tried some years ago and even after trying to get them perfectly centered on the hub it just wasn't enough... still got a slight vibration. Sold em and got hubcentric style with correct hub bore from ebay and the vibration went away.

[frizzle]

Before you guys get you panties in bunch...... I did this bcuz I had to not to be cool. The wheels did not sell quickly enough so I had to use them(Kinda).The only purpose for this much camber is to just fit the wheels and I was told I couldnt do it. I can easily put on my pair of TE's and take camber out and drive/drift the car as necessary. Relax bros!!!!

[Matej]

On the contrary, that is the only cool reason to do it. :)

Why is everyone slotting their coilovers? All you have to do is convert your OE FLCA to adjustable lengths or add 1-1.5"ish to it in the center by channeling and work the rest out up top. My car is at ~-5.8 front and my upper plates are centered and my coilovers are not slotted.

The requires more work and fabrication. Also a welder. Not everyone has those means available. Slotting the coilover can be done with a drill. Come on man. Use your head for something besides growing hair on. (assuming your not bald haha)

Looks like its time to mod mines before mounting.

Hey guys, I just got word that my PBM comps are coming in. Does anyone know how much camber is built into the offset lower mount? Would it still be a good idea to drill them out for that extra bump?

Also isn't it possible to over do it and cause your tire to rub the coilover? Just curious because it looks like some people are really going to town on their mounts lol.

Not sure if you plan on being a street sweeper, but you should have slotted the bottom so you can flip the bracket to acquire an additional inch or so to be low.

Edit: Forgot to the pic in it


Ive seen ur whip. why do u need -6,-8 camber?

That's far to excess for the wheels you are running.

[Jonnie Fraz]

I have done a couple sets of these...

These are Battle Version weld in adjusters. Alex does not offer the kits on his site any more, but the last time I asked him about them he said he still has parts for them.

with these wheels no...

This place sells just the washers in pairs:
3541-5 - Replacement 12mm Fastcam Washers - Ingalls Engineering Co., Inc. (http://www.ingallseng.com/3541-5-replacement-12mm-fastcam-washers.html)

I know I'm bumping an old thread but I'd rather do this than make a new one. Anyways, I think I'm going to notch my coils as opposed to drill separate holes and was wondering if anyone actually had any feedback from these actual washers? Or if anyone else is using tabs, could you point me in the right direction? Trying to get things done right first time, thanks

i got them a week ago but haven't put them on yet, i've been having the knuckle move every couple months and having to retighten that bolt on the lower mount. I'm sure these will help me with that

2 questions from the dead.
For you guys that have done ^ and added a heim to the lca, or own adjustable lower control arms - what happens to the angle of the traction rod and sway bar end link insert when you extend the control arm at the-bolt, instead of after the 3 bolt holes. Like the 555 arms. How does it even line up?

Last question. What is the width or correct heim with misalignment inserts to make these?

[da_crew10]

^^ I been wondering the same thing, Blattle version doesn't offer that weld on kit anymore I emailed them, I also asked the same question about the correct size heil joint and misalignment spacers for an s14 and got no response.

As you can see from this photo here, on 555 and similar OEM extended arms, the extensions are put in on the outside of the sway/traction holes.

Right. I ment to say they(555 and all others like PBM) extend it past the part in question - so I wonder how this could be done with a heim in the inside and keep any spec of oem geometry together (aside from Maximus ass camber)

[chaka_flocka]

Is anyone running more then -10 in the rear and how. I cant seem to with out the axels binding up.

[datboibrad]

Once it gets to that point you have to shorten the axle or have shorter one made. Powered by max had to do that for a 370z.

i havent found any and most likely not

If you use a heim joint ! Just redrill your swaybar / tension rod holes on the flca

Thats what i would do !? Is it ok i dont know for sure !

[Irresistible]

So any of you s14 dudes running Stance coilovers and 25mm extended stock arms? I was wondering what the camber is at with the camber plates maxed...

Just put my stuff on, but the car is still in the air and I wanna know how much camber I should be expecting degree-wise.

My friend with stance gr+ 25mm extended Lcas an maxed plates was at -6 iirc

Okay sweet, so I can still add more camber without being too overly ridiculous,,, Which for most of you I already am.

You're a fuckin idiot. Most people consider anything over -3 stupid and impractical.

25 mm lca extension, stance GR+ coils, camber at 6 or so, not maxed out, but getting close

lol ok have you even read this thread? reading through some of your recent posts its pretty obvious you have no idea what you're doing

You took the time to actually read through my recent posts... You really are a fucking idiot.

[jay70]

haha how does that make me an idiot?

[FaLKoN240]

You're the dillhole coming in trying to say how cool you are with excessive camber. I doubt you'll beat that shaka flocka guy or whatever. Who cares.

[Irresistible]

Actually if you read my post again I never said I was cool because of the excessive camber. I actually came in here to ask what to expect from the current combo of parts I have. In order to not have too much camber. I'm trying to avoid being excessive, actually. Apparently the reading comprehension on this forum has dropped drastically in the last few years.

[FaLKoN240]

To be clear, I'm running -4.5* in the front of my car with a 18x9.5 +12 spaced out 25mm to -13. So you're definitely not addressing the right guy here.

After being told you could be at -6 camber so I can still add more camber without being too overly ridiculous... Which for most of you I already am.

None of your posts stated anything about trying to avoid being excessive, if anything they were statements saying the exact opposite.

It's not that anyone in here has reading comprehension issues, your posts were CLEARLY conflicting statements.

Whatever lol, I'm not getting into a stupid argument over this, I'll admit defeat and admit that I prolly worded my posts poorly. Point is, I'm not tryna brag about how much camber I have or whatever, cus my car is still on fuckin jack stands. And I couldn't care less if someone has more camber than me, my goal isn't to be "most cambered" or some stupid crap, I just want my wheels to fit and look good lol.

If you don't mind me asking, what size tire are you running and are you on stock metal? PM me if you want so we don't clutter this thread.

I apologize if it seemed like I was trying to prove how big my dick is or something. My bad.

[jay70]

haha it's cool bro I forgive you, just try not to be such a douche anymore

Thanks, so what I'm trying to accomplish is totally possible. And again, my bad for coming off as an asshole or as if I was trying to show off how much camber I have, definitely not my intentions.
