hey guys, so ive got to much negative camber and its eating up my rear tires, im planning to get adjustable camber arms, but in the mean time, can i simply jack my car up and turn out the lower shock tubes to increase my ride hight (only like 20-30 mm) so what i want to know is, can i straight up adjust my ride hight in the rear without needing an allignment or anything like that???

thanks!

ud be better off creating a new hole, instead of elongating the existing one. obviously u want to leave some decent meat between the 2 holes, i dont know how much there is, if it was me id probably drill a new hole right down near the bottom, then weld some metal on top with a hole that lines up to reinforce it.

my suspension can have its ride height adjusted simply by unbolting the bottom legs and turning them, i dont have a clue what your talking about drilling new holes

get a wheel alignment is a start lol

wat car u got? im guessing 34 from the pic

they have adjustable rear arms from factory but only with mildish adjustment

if you cant afford the car, why have you got it???

you getting a brain is a start, lol

i thought it obvious to all that the car would have gotten a car an alignment when lowered, what kind of a shop would let it leave without doing one in the first place! so yes the factory ones are fully turned out

ive asked if i will need a new alignment with just raising the hight 20mm or so in the rear

and yes i can afford it and its prolly better then what uve got

when u said turn out i thought u meant making the hole bigger. i guess it was possibly a bit of false hope that it was a more advanced question than the same stuff we get in this section every day.

yes u have to get an alignment when u change the height, mainly because of dynamic toe, ur toe being out will wear ur tyres quicker than camber, and cant be rotated as well as camber wear.
