Engine Camber Correction

Camber Correction

i need camber correction badly i go through tires like crazy. well i found this on EBAY: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...gory=33581&item=2461765904&sspagename=rvi:1:2

i dont know if it'll fit for sure, i need some help. and does OBX compatible with TEIN?

ummmm weird i heard somwhere on the forum that we do not need camber kit because toyota set our corolla on somekind of supension r soemtihgn that doesnt require camber ( i dont know if its true tho )

for the rear, its a beam type of a suspension so it doens't camber. for hte fronts, i heard u dont need to use camber kit. i dont use one and it seems fine..for now. and my springs settled already

....

i have tein springs and it has settled to about 2.5 inches. i have really bad wears on my tire both front and back. if its not the rear camber what is it from? i am about to get coil overs and drop it a full 3.5inches to fill the gap, so im defintly gonna ne the camber for the front, i just need to know if it will fit and if it matter is i had teins on or not.

how many miles are on these tires? is the wear evenly distributed? or is it on one side of the tire?

I also have the Tein springs... wearing the rear makes no sense at all. did you ge the front end aligned after lowering it? because the front doesnt camber enough to wear, but being out of alignment will kill them(i know)

Where did people hear this stuff about NO need for camber correction? Camber is not a device. It is not a sensor. It is no a tool. Camber refers to the vertical angle of your tires. ALL cars have camber!!! If you have ZERO camber, then that means your wheels are perfectly straight up 90 degrees from the ground. Anyway, depending on how far you go with your suspension, you WILL have to get your suspension aligned. This will fix the front camber, caster, and toe. For the rear, the only way I've heard of to fix the camber is to place an adjustable shim between the wheel and mounting surface.

I did my springs, shocks and sway bars all at once and my camber was totally F****** up, like ROYALLY screwed. If you're just on springs, then it probably wouldn't be as messed up as mine. But definitely, you all wanna get alignments done after lowering your cars. It preserves your tires and ensures safe, predictable driving at the limits.

EDIT: To adjust the front camber, you need to replace one bolt from each wheel to a slightly thinner bolt so that you can adjust it. Eibach makes these bolts. You can find them at www.tirerack.com or you can just go to your local wheels/alignment shop and they should have these kinds of bolts in stock. Your other option is to get the Hotchkis strut bar with integrated camber plate. This allows you adjust camber very easily just by popping your hood.
