Big lowering problem CUSCO

I just lowerd my car with eibach pro springs about a month ago and got Cusco front camber kit, I went to take it to get an alignmet 3 times at two different placeses because i didn't know if they were aligning it right and they said the front was maxed out at -2 degrees on both right and left side (front). WTF did I buy them for if they dont put it back near spes??? Are they all aligning it wrong or do Cuscos really SUCK? My tires are wearing pretty bad. any one else have this problem?

Cusco's are made for Neg camber which is needed for racing not Pos Camber.
If you would have looked at the specs you would see is that that the Cusco Camber Arms give at most is .8 Deg of Pos Camber. I'm waitting for SPC to release their front camber solution next month which supposedly will give up to +3. Deg of Pos camber.

hummmm thats weird cause every site i've been to (http://storesense.megawebservers.com...ail.bok?no=239) says that the cusco camber arms would bring them pretty close to specs even when used with coil overs. hopefully SPC's kit will be better and cost around the same if not cheeper

yes, the cuscos are for neg camber; they won't correct a "dropped" car.

I, too, am waiting for the new SPCs. Their rears are great. One thing I heard about the upcoming SPCs is that it will be both an upper and lower arm! ......allowing caster adjustment too.

WOW! You are SOOOOOOOO wrong. LOL!

For one, they're not STRICTLY for negative camber.
True, they allow for MORE negative than positive adjustment...
But not STRICTLY negative.

They will indeed correct a "dropped" G.
i know a handful of G-owners that have it on their rides.
I've seen up to almost two degrees of correction. (+1.7º from initial)

Also, u can modify the Cusco camber arms to give you even more positive camber if need be.

They're solid pieces.

QUADCAM:
Not sure if u've actually looked at one in person or had one in your car yet.
But from the sound of it, u just saw some misguided people's posts and thought that was the case.

Take it for what it is.

That is all,
DRU

and as for allowing caster adjustment...

Good Lord, that'll bring on an onslaught of issues if done wrong.
But we'll save that for another thread.

I'm with Dru on this one. The Cusco camber arm should offer more than sufficient adjustment to bring the fronts within spec. The fronts even when dropped pretty low, don't even camber out too bad. Not like the rears at all. The rears camber horribley when dropped.
