help me

Am i going crazy? My rear tires look like they are slanting in all crazy. I have ground control coil overs on the car. They were on there when I bought the car about two years ago. Im no mechanic but im not an idiot either. Can the coilovers do this over time? Does it mean I need new suspension?

Re: help me

How hard are these camber kits to install? Where is the best place to get one? Will it mess anything else up by driving it with the wheels tilted like that?

Re: help me

dunno from what I've heard it shouldnt be too difficult since you already have the knowledge of dropping the ride. Best place to get one is wherever you can find it. make sure to get the front and rear. You probably shouldnt drive too long on it but again i'm not sure there are plenty of threads about this elsewhere search for camber kits or check out the suspension thread.

Re: help me

what i dont get is why did it do this all of the sudden? These coilovers have been on there for at least two years if not longer.

Re: help me

it just happens over time. The camber kit stops that from happening but I guess your lucky enough to not need to for that long or you just didnt notice it until it was pretty major.

Re: help me

Re: help me

usually its only the rears that need the kit, thats the expensive one. the fronts are just adjustable bolts and they are cheap enough i think maybe $20 so just get them anyway if they need it. i would just have an alignment shop install the camber kit that way they can align it right away after theyre done.

Re: help me

Clarification, your car already has a camber kit- its stock, its just not adjustable. You need an adjustable one, which all aftermarket ones are adjustable. I have a Ksport camber kit, it goes for about 120ish or so. There is no reason to pick up an uber expensive one like the SPC kit, it does the same shit for a cheaper price. Depends on what your looking for really, they all are different colors for thta bling factor- megans are blue, ksports are orange, spc is black, etc...
