Can't wait to see that splitter.

lkev · 05-17-2011, 03:53 PM

Me too! I cant put it on right now cuz my car is too low :( i may have to sell it. The best thing about it is it lines up to the factory holes, hate to see it go.

Explain to me what you call interesting.

I am slammed on Megan Coilovers and with camber as well I just curious to see if you are experiencing what I am. Send me a pm if you want.

When I turn on wet surfaces the front wheels kick a little. Especially over manhole covers when they are wet. Also there's an oil spot in my parking garage I have to pass over everyday, when my wheels are turned when I go over it they kick a little. Its a little hard to explain, it feels a small kine dangerous sometimes.

Does it feel like it would slide over or skid over on wet roads or highways?

Check very often ur tread on the tires for some reason they are wearing faster not like it should

When Camber is applied to the rear wheels, the geometry of the suspension causes the tires to wear very FAST! I've been there and it's not nice, also as they wear more and more, road noise increases due to the fact of uneven wear.

Check your tires and see carefully, pass your hand against the thread in both directions if in one direction feels like the thread holds your hand then you know it's wearing because of the Camber.

See the camber on the rear wheels? I found out when I switch to winter tires, 4K miles and the tires got really bad (snow tires have softer compound). After this I had to remove my camber kit... )o: and now after 8K miles there is no crazy uneven wear.

WE only have camber in front and I know how it wears when u have it, its nothing like it ill take a pic of my 17" I got so u can see em how it left them

I had the skidding experience for the first time ever this weekend and it scared the shit out of me. It was raining and the car was pulling hard to the left and i was sandwiched in between two cops too! The pavement switches up here from gravel to this slick white
concrete on overpasses.

As far as the camber wear im not too worried about that. In the last year I only put
around 1,500 miles on my car :) I will have slight camber on the rear next month as I switch over to XXR 521's

alfredyeez · 07-15-2011, 02:36 AM

Ikev,

From what you've described, you've over-lowered your car and it's under-steering more now and also suffering from bump-steer.

Take a look under the car and I am quite certain that the front lower suspension arms are now pointing upwards towards the wheel side ie both your lower front suspension arms now forms a 'V' shape from the centre of your car pointing upwards towards the wheels.

The car's suspension and steering geometry has changed after you lowered the car this much..... you are getting more understeer and suffering from bump steer as well. Both not good especially in the wet.

lkev · 07-15-2011, 04:30 PM

I have "Toe In". If it was on a female I would love it :), gotta see an alignment guy soon. My tires are getting bolohead already

TRD.RiC · 07-15-2011, 07:29 PM

i run 2.4camber at front.... not THAT much difference. toe is set to 0. its a huge misunderstanding from a lot of ppl

Toe will go through your tires like they are butter. camber wont. Yes on the whole life of the tire its going to make a difference. Its not going to make a side bold and have 6/32 on the other side. neway just do your tire rotation and its going to be "almost" even wear

lkev · 08-25-2011, 04:56 AM

Not the best shot but here's an updated pic taken tonight. Went a little too low with it, gotta do some banging and shaping tomorrow.

I need to change my boxers now!

lol

lkev · 08-25-2011, 05:09 AM

Gotta show love for the sedans. Wanted to go for a little challenge with the 16x8 tucked.
Might have to look into some camber shims for the rear.

Kaotic Lazagna · 08-25-2011, 05:20 AM

Not sure if you said this already, but have you rolled your fenders? What's the offset on those rims?

lkev · 08-25-2011, 06:49 AM

Fenders are rolled. Offset is +26.

Kaotic Lazagna · 08-25-2011, 01:52 PM

oh, hmmm, slight fender pull then?
