Ok. Once I get the front camber kit I will try another shop.

I can't see those spacers making that big of a difference in camber. I'd go try another alignment shop.

rear looks too low. like a signature tanabe boat look.

Alexwallace23 02-03-2014 09:54 PM

Thanks Kenchan. I like the way the rear looks but I can't set the front at the same height because it will rub against the wheel well. There is a half of an inch difference between the rear and the front but I will get rid of the boat look this weekend.

it could be your picture, but yah, the rear could go up another 1/4" or so. unless you run like 19x11's or 19x11.5's and make it super flush with dumbarse camber, it might loook okay. car will run like shitt though.

I'm confused I guess. I have Stance coilovers on mine plus the 20mm spacers and really wished I had gone with the 25 cause I still have space and mine are back to factory specs using the Stance toe and camber arms.

Mine are setup even all the way around...

How low are you? I was pretty much at the lowest setting and the tires were barely clearing the fender. Then again it could be the guy that did the alignment did not know what he was doing. Once I raise the back and get the front camber kit I will do another alignment at a different shop. I should be able to get to factory specs at the new height.

Mine measures 26" from ground to the top of the fender opening...dead center both front and rear. The fronts are as low as I want them and just adjusted the rears to be even. I still have the occasional issue with rubbing over a hard bump on the front tires.

I am also at 26" in the rear right now with a lot more room than what I had when it was lower. The height was between 24½"-25" when the shop installed the coil overs.

What is your front damper set to?

Don't know the exact, but had to make them pretty stiff so they wouldn't rub.

Also had to cut the little nub inside the wheel well and then bend the clip that is underneath it to help with the rubbing.

Interesting, I installed my Stance coilovers just before the end of Summer. Never ended up getting camber kits but I do run RE-11's which are pricey so I have been concerned with wear.

I "think" I am within -3.0 though, I'm not super slammed...I need to find my paper.

I figure since I'm about to get a cup kit installed end of the month and suspension will be off, might as well add them.

Alexwallace23 03-04-2014 07:53 PM

I'm at -2.4 in the front without camber kit. I think you would be fine with this but I want everything back in the green. I plan on installing the front camber kit this weekend and get the alignment next weekend.

I'm dropped on swifts right now with perfect OEM specs, no camber arms or anything. Just bought some coilovers and I'm planning on staying at the same him eights as the swifts, so camber arms shouldn't be necessary.
