do your mounting bolt holes on the lower portion where the coilover bolts up, have and sliding room? on s14's you can do some adjustment there also increasing or decreasing camber.not sure about S13's

Pictures coming soon

what up with the electric tape on the headlights? Not singling you out but, i see it everywhere and never understand what its for, just a trend or what?

Also, match your camber with the rears, looks like it'll fit better that way

[ayuaddict]

camber plates are maxed out or in?

there is no way you have maximum negative camber.

what kind of coilovers do you have? by any chance did you install the lower mount up-side down?

also although S14 arms push your wheels out 10mm, they should increase neg. camber visibly.

plates are maxed out as in i can't run anymore -camber. i'm on fortune auto coils and i doubt the lower mounts are on upside down but i'll check this weekend. the top bolt running through the lower mount and spindle sits too far forward(towards the fender) and doesn't sit back inside to give me camber. hopefully that made sense

I helped him put these wheels on his car, seeing as they are my wheels. I am very very confused as to why we cannot get anymore negative camber out of his fronts. The spindle has no movement for us to push in more negative camber. Its very strange that its running at pretty much zero camber. Whoever had the car before him must have set something up on it wrong, is the only thing I can think of.

[ayuaddict]

I mean its macpherson so the only reason for that would be if it had S12 LCAs or significantly shortened LCAs but even with S12 LCAs you would see a bit more camber. The only thing i can possibly think of is that the angle of the coilover to the spindle is wrong.

[!Zar!]

Check to see which holes the coilover is mounted to the camber plate.

That, along with the orientation of the camber plates to the frame.

I didn't want to say much because I didn't know what kind of coilovers you had, but since you say Fortune Auto...I'm on Fortune Auto coilovers and I can get -4.6 degrees of camber (confirmed on the alignment rack at work) without touching the camber plates. Like I said, something is probably wrong with your car.

[articdragon192]

Pic of tophat would help tons.

[ayuaddict]

and lower mounts.

[punxva]

how my car sits when it's jacked up i just need to take more camber out while it's at ride height...

[92-sr20-s13]

"better" pictures...still shit quality. As far as I could get my camber plates to go in the front without modding anything. Looking for smaller front tires now so I can lower it a bit more.

[GabeS14]

I wouldn't buy new tires untill you figure out whats wrong with your camber, you will be spending money for nothing, that money could be better spent buying the right part to correct the issue.

[AKsamuraiS14]

this might sound stupid, but a buddy of mine had the same camber issues where he was maxed out on camber and it still was positive and the problem was that the coilovers were on the wrong side, try switching them from left to right, it might fix ur problem and give u more camber. just a thought.

[younghatchowner]

i love this thread

[OBEEWON]

I had no clue coils were side specific.

[92-sr20-s13]

Swapping the coils around is an idea..I'll try that.

My issue is that the top of the coil over hits the strut tower when I try to max them out. I really dont feel like grinding away at that and my strut bar...Other option is to notch the top bolt hole on my coils...but that dosent seem safe to me, Dont wana chance having it move while driving it hard...

[frsh4]

Or maybe you plates are backward. Just spin the plate so the negative symbol etched on the coliovers are facing your engine.

Im purty positive that the only thing that makes coilovers side specific is if you use your break line mounting clip thingys........otherwise your wasting your time.....somebody correct me if im wrong

Also, I know Fortunes have a couple of different holes to put the camber plate bolts in. Have you moved your bolts as far away from the inside of the car as possible so you have the most neg camber possible?

[92-sr20-s13]

Not fitment...But since some asked..and I need an answer, Is this shit backwards???

[Persona]

If thats how your coils are ATM, you have more adjustment for Negative camber. Just have to swap holes with the bolt hitting the strut tower, move it to the next threaded hole. At least it appears so. Something does look off though on your camber plate idk. Maybe its just late for me lol.

I had to in order to get my alingment correct.


Edit: How come it looks as if you have a extra adjustment hole on the top right and not the top left of the camber plate?

[ayuaddict]

that is installed correctly, and is at maximum negative.

post clear pics of your lower mount.

[92-sr20-s13]

I'm running JIC coil overs / camber plates if that matters any. The bottom mount holes arent slotted, So I cant adjust it that way. and the holes where the allan keys are, are all the same. Just apears to be off from the angle I took the picture at I guess. I really dont need to much more camber, The tires rub on the front fenders over bumps but with a tiny bit of - camber it will be perfect to lower some more.

[AKsamuraiS14]

looks like u still have some room to put camber, try shaving the strut mount a bit to make it go back more.

id still try reversing them. what kind of coilovers are they?
