Question Rear camber

Why is it whenever a car is lowered the rear camber is always worse then the fronts. It does not matter which car either, I have seen a TSX lowered 2 inches, the front wheels have some minor - camber, but the rear has huge - camber.

The 01+ Civics I have seen lowered also has major - camber in the rear, but the fronts seem to be minor.

Just the way the suspension is set up on certain types of cars. If you drop a car with a solid rear axle, like my old Sonoma, you won't see that.

Previous gens and integras would camber in the front and not much in the rear. it is all dependent on the suspension set up. If the suspension attaches with side bolts (like the front mount) the camber won't change much because the lowering is taking place from the spring and not the suspension. the rears are attached to the control arm. I dunno, i am pullin this **** out of my ***.

No, now that I think about it you are right. When my 90 hatch was slammed to the ground the front tires were cambered in a LOT and the rears not so bad. I think it is just the way our suspension is.
