Wheres the rear camber kits?

[phunk]

Whos working on what, and when will it be available?

I want to lower the rear of my Mustang, but I cannot afford the consequences of the negative camber with the supercharger.

The camber on the rear is adjustable from the factory. The upper inner control arm bolt is slotted for adjustment.

The front however is not adjustable from the factory. There are either camber bolts to replace one of the factory lower strut bolts or caster camber plates for the top of the struts.

We are testing our rear camber (and front!) adjustable components right now.

Keep an eye out.

I was not aware, funny because I had most the IRS apart but I did not take out the upper inner control arm bolts.

How much adjustment is there? Can we get to zero camber when lowered a decent amount?

Excellent, I will pay attention.

By any chance did you guys check the camber gain arc? Like, measure how far the camber has changed as you compress the suspension further and further? A table like this would have to be built based on another dimension, perhaps control arm angle or a hub centerline to fender measurement or something. I dont know, ive never built such a table... but it sure would be useful for those of us trying to dial in our IRS to put the power to the ground.

FWIW. I'm lowered on pro kits. The shop was able to set my rear camber to -1.4 from -2.3.

Of course we did/have. As you can imagine, that is data for us only at this point, but I am sure I will be able to share that info down the road.

As for the parts we have on the horizon, we have finished with the testing on the camber bolts, and should be releasing those soon. These will be for the average enthusiast to use, that just wants a better performing and looking car. These are not intended for race applications.

We are also working on camber plates for the front, which will be recommended for more serious performance applications (or, of course, those who want plates instead of bolts)

Lastly, we have 3 designs of rear upper camber link arms that we are working on. All proprietary designs that are unique BMR specific designs - I am positive they will be the best rear camber option available, and will be the best design possible.

Did you test this on the front as well? If you have is there ever a point under compression where the front camber starts going back toward positive due to the control arm angle?

The control arm would have to pass horizontal to reverse the camber effects, so you will only see positive camber gain if you are able to lift the front tires off the ground!

Im glad to see this in the works. I've aligned my car 2 times since lowering and the camber bolt has slipped. I tighten the shit out of it. It's tight up there, anxious to see your solution.

This picture illustrates that if the suspension were to keep compressing the camber would start going back towards positive. Is this how the Mustang's front suspension works?

Sorry, I don't mean to hijack this thread.

No hijack at all! I'm glad you posted, I was not thinking about it in depth enough and I was really only considering suspensions with upper a-arms also.

With the front suspension design of this car, I wasn't considering how the lower control arm baseline angle is downward and reaches horizontal from compression.

 

[Ryan1112]

You're probably right. It would probably have to go past the bump stops to be a problem. I was mostly curious about a lowered car as I'm sure this wouldn't be an issue on a stock one.

The adjustable toe links help immensely for correcting camber in the rear until we see some rear adjustable arms. That's part of the issue from the factory is without being able to adjust toe as much it's a bitch to get the rear camber right. Once some adjustable rear arms are available I'll probably pick those up too but for now at least I'm getting enough adjustment in the rear. I tried the dealer once, they were horrible and then had a specific race shop align my car.
