Camber adjustment

[JohnBoyNC]

I just had the alignment done after installing the Eibach Pro-kit and here are the end results:

Front
Left camber -1.8
Right camber -1.7
Left toe -0.01
Right toe -0.01

Rear
Left camber -2.2
Right camber -1.9
Left toe 0.1
Right toe 0.1

Not a DD nor a track car, but I do enjoying spirited driving and would like to get decent mileage from the stock Pirelli's.

What are your recommendations? Leave it alone? Camber bolts? Adjust the front and or rear to what?

TIA for your suggestions.

Your rear camber is adjustable. I have the same springs and my front camber is -1.7 on both side. Loosen the 3 nuts on the strut tower and pull the strut assembly towards you. This will give you +0.2 camber.

If you decide to get bolts go with with eibach recommendation. I belive it is -1.2 front and -1.6 for the rear

 

[JohnBoyNC]

So what should the rear camber numbers be more like?

I appreciate your response and pointing me in the right direction. Looks like those are the recommendations for the sportlines ok, while I have the pro-kit, but I was able to find the ones I need.

On my spec sheet from the place that did my alignment has the toe specs for each side and then they also give you a total toe (the two added together). Question: the toe specs in the Eibach recommendations above, are they per side or total?

Just a newb trying to figure this all out.

Thanks

It is per side. your first post you mentioned that you have eibach sports.

Stock Pirelli's don't last for anything. The backs will be toast by like 15k from what ive read. I've switched to continental DWS all seasons and I barely am going to get 10k out of the rear tires. Might have something to do with racing it but I run similar rear camber adjustments.

Hey guys

can you tell me how the rear is camber adjustable? My wheelie guy couldn't work it out so in negative 2 degrees at the moment

Thanks!

Upper camber link, inner mount to cradle.

Loosen bolt, adjust, tighten.

You can also slot the top strut mount holes to get your camber within spec. Free
