Rear camber different???

[Jersthecool]

So I finally got my first set of nice wheels not just stock ones and I mounted the 2 rear rims and put it back down on the ground and the drivers side has say -3 camber and the passenger side has say -1 and I'm just using stock arms. I know it needs an allignment bad after changing to 5 lug but can they really adjust the camber that much with the stock arms?

you can do an alignment with them but you could only go so far; im low on stock arms right now and im at -6 on both sides and i couldnt get it any better than that.

you going to need ruca's to get a good alignment.

are you lowered as well? what kind of shocks/coils do you have?

and you're gunna need not just rucas, but adjustable toe arms as well.
if you don't have coils, you're probably gunna need pillow ball mounts for the front.

I'm on apexi n1 evo's and yeah the front I've got pillows I'm fine for that but the rear is really scaring me. I was measuring the height and the drivers side is 1/4" higher and has a lot more camber then the passenger side. As well fuck me the toe on the passenger side seems fucked!

change rear coils to be the exact same height and your camber will atleast be the same on both sides....

Yeah definitely gonna do that tomorrow the only thing that scares me is the lower the car the more negative camber right? Then why is the drivers side which is higher then the passengers side have a lot more camber? Also does anyone know if the toe is adjustable on the stock arms because I really don't have money to drop on adjustable ones and it has way to much to even drive with, it would wear my tires out in a week.

if that's the case i recommend you get toe arms before rucas. toe is the main cause of tire wear. camber is mainly just the WAY the tires are worn. if you don't have the money for both, you could always just stay stock height until you have the money...

i was slammed when i first got my gr+ pros, and i was running like -3 in the rear and -2 in the front (varied obviously because i was on stock arms). i thought i had to just get some camber arms and i'd be set, but i talked to the guys at pbm, and they said i needed toe arms as well. so i ordered up my spl toe arms and rucas from speedalliance.com (ordered in-store actually as they're local), and got my proper alignment done. i even talked to my buddy who does my alignments for me, and he said with that much camber, there's no way he would have been able to really do much had i just ordered rucas, because of how much camber there was.

if you must, order some cheap godspeed arms for now, save up, buy good shit, and sell the godspeeds later.

this was me lowered with stock rucas

its about -3 camber and toe is whack so i was going thru tires every 3 weeks
