uber negative camber on coilovers

L18M · December 06, 2008, 02:24:26 AM

:omy fc looks worst than should be. many have commented on how much neg camber there is.
the fc\'s stock arms are nt adjustable.
i saw some adjustable arms from oz a while back but didnt think i needed them but now my car is gonna get a bit more kick i thought it might be a gd idea to get some normal grip out of the rear.
my last set of tyres on the rear were all worn on the inside but looked new on the outside. hence i think i may have a \'slight\' neg camber issue

thanks :Thumbsup!
nice link tho i got a bit lost to how the rear camber adjusting works :xconfused
the ones i seen b4 are like rods that go from subframe to each wheel and can be adjusted.

anyone got ideas how good either the rear camber adjusting or the adjustable camber links work?

only work if you buy rose joints bushing for the rear and adjusting rear drop links to make more neg camber.

if go for rear camber adjusting bar,it\'s only work with normal rubber cos the rubber\'s soft and easier to push and pull.
none of these that\'s I got!!
only rose joints rear and drop links from homemade by myself.
it\'s too hash for road, bump and banging and it\'s not worth the money spending!

rear camber links install

http://www.mazdatrix.com/instructions/camblinkinstall.htm

By pulling up or pushing down on the rear subframe where the original equipment vertical link is located, negative camber can be reduced or increased

monterx7 · December 06, 2008, 04:00:58 PM

that pic is from supernow. but the info is from mazdatrix website.

i think the supernow guys changed all the rubber for solid mounts. i have more pics of it if you want to see

oh yesss. please but sway bar\'s still got rubber blocks?

dont mean to jack your thread. i know on the mazdatrix website they speak alittle bit about how these links effect the camber. the single adjusts both wheels but is limited where as the 2 adjustable links are not as limited and can adjust each wheel.

i loaded the few pics up to photobucket from my supernow collection. i did not take these myself, got them from their website

to get rid of the negative camber...

so in a nutshell for a novice about solving this rear camber prob.. what do i need n where to get from :Thumbsup!

Retro_Boy_G · December 07, 2008, 12:37:53 AM

It looks like all you would need would be the purple things.. and depending on how tight they are depends on the angle the wheels would sit at... but you know it wont be that simple.. nothing ever is..

monterx7 · December 07, 2008, 01:21:02 AM

the first time i saw those "purple things" was on the supernow website. before that, the way i knew how to take neg camber out was with either the (single) rear camber adjuster or with the (2) rear camber links. i never thought of emailing or trying to get ahold of supernow to see if they do sell those links you speak of.
