I was just reading about camber issues.... and i have decided that i want to purchase camber correction with the tein basics that i'm considering... I'm kind of wanting to go the cheapest route that will get me back in spec if i slam my gcoupe. I dont know exact numbers on inches i wanna drop cause i have seen very few people's cars on here that are as low as i would like to go. I wanna tuck about half an inch of tire... can anyone estimate how much of a drop that would be? What a arms and rear camber adjustment brands should i go with? I just read something about the poor quality of kinetix front a-arms but the good adjustability (all at a low price). I was planning on SPC for my rear camber needs, but i'm open to other options

 

you will not be able to achieve a drop likeso with Tein Basics. when you correct camber, your height will be changed as well.

 

With a drop that low, your camber is going to be f*******cked up. I have the front and rear kinetix kit and I was able to get close to spec but it's kinda squeaky... and I can't tell if it's from the front or rear.

 

what about this low?

 

tucking 1/2" tire all around on 20s (probably tucking over an inch of tire on 18s):



pulled all this camber out, back to spec:



Here is my list of modifications:

Kinetix adjustable control arms for front (fixed camber completely), kinetix traction arms/camber arms and SPC Toe bolts (fixed camber 90% in rear - barely in the green). I think I spent just under $1000.00 for everything and installed it all myself. A friend of mine helped me 'eye' it up and get it as good as we thought it could get and then I took it to a wheel shop and they put it on the alignment rack.

I am lowered over 3" on JIC coilovers, to my knowledge Tein Basics won't go that low; Tein Flex will, but not the Basics.

that guy is my friend who lives down the street from me. he had custom springs in that pic. his car has since been raised a bit because of coilovers.
correct, but you have to remove the perch in the rear.

 

yeah... I did have some custom springs in that pic... here's a recent pic with the coilover on... about 6 more turns until it's lowest point...




with camber kits and slammed... you might have to roll the fenders and even have to go with just 9.5...

 

^ i thought the HKS RS' are at it lowest even after the perch removal?????

 

damn man, how do you drive that around...

 

hey jdbinspired and sen_jen, that black coupe with the 20" GT-C that you guys took pics with, can you find out the offset of his rim, thats how i want mine... does he have 20x9.5 in front and 20x10.5 in back?

not sure what kinda look i will have with +29 in front and +24 in back with those gt-c's of mine...
