Adjustable Camber kit needed for front== Recommendations?

[Swordfish19792002]

I went and did a wheel alignment on the R33 (1993) last weekend.

The guys said I need an adjustable camber kit installed on the front.

This kit contains the following

4 bushes

2 shafts

4 bolts

4 washes ==> Costs $181.00

Has anyone put this type of kit in before.

I dont want to wear out the 18's, so thats why I want the kit, not for racing or modifying or anything.

Who would be the best people to talk to and price wise.

Im guessing your car is lowered? So having the adjustability up front will allow the correct amount of camber to be dialled n.

So you should end up with better front tyre wear, as long as they dont go any more extreme then 1.5deg.

Pirce would seemsa about right, i cnt remember what i paid but it never hurts to ring a competitor.

Yeah, it sounds about right. I got the whiteline kit about 4 months ago for $160+freight through their website. They're pretty easy to install if you want to have a go yourself, takes about 20min per side from wheel off to wheel on. As Roy

said -1.5 Deg is good for street use.

is it really that easy to install a camber kit?

The guys at Fulcrum in Brisbane said..."It's a big **** around mate to put them on."

Fulcrum -Marooka (Brisbane)

Parts $142.52

Install $143.00

Wheel Align $88.00 (Front and Back)

Total: $373.52

But if its easier than what u say, well then I might give it a go.

as i originally suspected....

[jlnewton]

Yeah, I went to Fulcrum Stafford, their labour costs are ridiculous, good quality gear just insane labour costs. It is that easy, I would say 30min tops per side. They are a bastard to adjust though. Still need to get a wheel alignment afterwards though. Jack car up, remove wheel, remove bolt which connects shock to lower wishbone, undo upper/outer wishbone nut/bolt, slide assemble out (if it hasn't corroded in), all falls apart, slide new camber pin/bushes into place with plenty of provided silicon grease, put it back together. Easy!

how low is ur car??

[BHDave]

Yep, installation of this type of thing is pretty easy, it's the setup that hard.

Id put them in, set them roughly and then drive it down to get aligned.

Also, if the car is lowered then you will definately need the rears done aswell, they'll probably need it more than the fronts

[franks]

whiteline camber kit is now installed on the car.

running 1degree 45mins negative camber and thats all she's allowed to go apparently.

[Swordfish19792002]

that setting 1' and 45min, will that wear your tyres out.

[franks]

absolutely
