Camber adjustment

SeeThruHead · 08-18-2023, 09:22 AM

assuming the stock arms and eccentric bolts are all in place, camber will go back to normal when the car is raised up.

I’m not raising it.

Then you need aftermarket arms: camber, and mid links. Go SPL and be done. If you are not familiar with SPL, long story short, they are the best in the game and will be a solid investment in your suspension alignment.

Mid links will solve the OP's problem but will cost 30X more than simple toe bolts.

Your premature tire wear is not caused by the ~3 degrees of negative camber. Your rear toe alignment is out of spec and killing your tires. You'll need camber arms and toe bolts if you want to get closer to stock alignment. That is assuming you want to remain lowered. If you wish to return the vehicle to stock ride height, the camber/toe specs will return to normal.

Thank you.

I want the Camber out anyway so I was hoping to do both at once.

I don’t mind buying camber arms and toe arms if it’s that simple.
I don’t know if the traction arms will also need changing, I’d rather buy all in one shipment since I need to order from the States.

Traction arms aren't necessary to solve your problem. They are a bit of overkill unless you are dialing-in suspension geometry for the track. Then again, if you have $400 burning a hole in your pocket, go for it. Whatever you decide, SPL is the benchmark.
