uber negative camber on coilovers

[L18M]

has anyone had more negative camber than should be once they have dropped their fc onto coilovers?
if so how have you over come this?

my fc are on JIC coilovers and you can see the rear wheel had lots of negative camber.
thinking need to get rear camber tie\'s, anyone know where i can find if need be?

cheers

I think as soon as u lower a car this happens, its why you would have 2 sort the tracking and alignment out as soon as you lower it, else it will just eat 1 side of the tyres

I don\'t know the FC suspension but you often get too much neg camber when you lower cars. Nissans need upper camber arms because you don\'t have enough adjustablility with the standard arms to get rid of it.

driftworks have loads of adjustable arms, not sure if they have them for FC\'s though. they may do.


and what do you meean too much negative camber? you can never have to much

Haha! too much neg camber on the rear wheels means bugger all grip for drifting. I only run -1 ish neg on the rear of the drift cars, as do most people that have control of it. People run quite a lot on the front though usually more than 2.5 degrees neg. Not sure what mine is at the moment but it looks about -3.

How far in or out the wheels are at the top/bottom. Negative camber is when the wheels are in at the top and out at the bottome. Usually happens when cars are lowered lots, so you need adjustable arms to get control of it to what you want.

look on ebay for camber adjusters, USA Ebay have them. I used them and it helped but you do get a lot on the FC,  There are 2 types for the FC, one is easy to fit and adjust but doent give you much adjustment and does both at the same time so they are individually adjustable.

The other types has one fitted each side by the hub but i havent used these.  You may also have worn pushes and DTSS eliminators which wont help.

Polybushing and removing the DTSS transforms an FC once you have the geomitry done. None of its cheap if you cant do it yourself though.

It looks like the suspension has collapsed lol
