Since i have some negative camber and want to correct for it a bit, i just ordered Ichiba rear camber kit. Here is the gap on my car

What I am wanting to do is put a little more positive camber back in to to close the gap between the sidewall of the tire and the fender well. Will these camber arms allow me to adjust for that much gap? Also is it necessary to install the toe bolts that come with the kit?

you can put more positive camber just don't get cusco those are mainly for neg camber

i believe SPC is the most positive adjustment

as for the toe bolt, you have to remember toe is what kills your tire faster so get the toe bolt installed so you can adjust toe to 0 and save them tires

Well the ichiba is on the way, you think i should be able to close that gap between the sidewall and fender?

depends on what camber you are at now

the general rule is 1 degree of camber gives u 5mm or space

Ichiba rears offer a decent amount of adjustment. It's the ichiba fronts which are almost worthless for positive adjustment.

Toe bolt is only necessary if your toe is too far out to be fixed.

i would say get spl pro rear and spl fronts

spl pro rear give +/- 10 degrees and comes with toe bolts

while you are getting the rear, might as well get the fronts as a package deal, cause since you will be adjusting rear you might want to adjust your front to match that for even tire ware and better handling, but with that much camber, expect to ware out your tires pretty quick haha

i have to admit tho, your stance and overall style and stance is just pure sex on wheels

Exactly. The SPC kits come with these shims you install behind the hub assembly and brake caliper. The shim is wedge shaped so it creates a static positive 2 deg of adjustment. And if you don't need the full 2 deg, you can always scale it back with the adjustability of the A-Arm itself.

+1 the rear is fine. Just keep in mind whenever you change or adjust camber, it changes toe settings. With this said, you may be able to change a good amount of camber in the rear and be left with more camber adjustments to spare, but you might max out of the adjustability of the rear toe unless that toe bolt hole is elongated.

^ oh no, haha, im not a camber freak

i would recommend spl series parts for camber and toe

definitely spl pro rear camber arms and spl front camber combo is the best way to go, pay the little extra and get the quality you deserve

edit: first sentence was for eurodre
