Question Need help with Spring install!

Well everything went pretty well, but my rear isn't level! My setup is Tokico HP Blues and H&R Sport springs.

I believe it is the camber that is causing it. Check out these pics:





I have NOT had it aligned yet (yes, I know I need it). No shops around here are open until Monday

My question is, will the alignment and adjustment of my camber kit FIX this issue?

Thank you for reading,

John

Re: Need help with Spring install!

it's your system... all the weight in the trunk... alignment won't do **** for that... those springs are meant to sit level with the stock weight of the car... not with a system

I didn't think about that! Yet its only 1 12" woofer. Is it really that heavy?

Well I guess then I will get the alignment and get my fender well rolled and call it. I'm not getting rid of my system!

I already got a camber kit (cannot remember the brand, it was long ago). It was about $80 to my door from Ebay. I am going to try and get the car aligned Tuesday after I re-index the front right (it is popping / making noise on bumps).

Thanks for the response fellas.

John

Re: Need help with Spring install!

take it all out the trunk, and see what it loks like after sitting a while, then add it all back in, then you got the leveled out stance. and if this suspension is new, youll have to wait some time to break-in. my TEINs on my old G35 were the same way... at first it was normal, month later i rear camber bad, with a lil in the front...

Re: Need help with Spring install!

does anyone know how to install a camber kit? or it HAS to be done by pro's? what does "roll" your fenders mean?

Re: Need help with Spring install!

camber kit install is easy, its 3 bolts a side, u dont need to have it done by a pro, it takes maybe 20 mins a side, and rolling ur fenders basically means bending the insides of ur fenders(the part that sticks down and inward) and rolling them up, so that the tire doesnt rub, if u dont itll tear up ur tire and fender both
