I've been looking into negative camber anf would like to know how exactly to go about this. I heard lowering your car usually gives you a bit but my question is :

1) Will intrax springs (1.75" drop) give me negative camber at all?

2) Also, I found a camber kit for 85-94 maximas and will max out at -2. Is that enough? For the "stance" look?

Thank you in advance for the replies!

 

Why on earth would you want to sacrifice handling, traction and normal tire wear, to have your car look like you're oblivious to the importance of proper wheel alignment? Years ago I pulled aside some guy in a car and told him that his rear wheels looked like they're about to fall off, I was completely serious and unknowing to this supposed trend. He said "oh thanks a lot man", and probably laughed his *** off at me after I drove off, because I was ignorant about what the latest trends are in automotive douchebaggary.

 

I truly think it looks cool, which is dumb yes. But a guy at sears auto center said they can align it to somewhere -3 or something where its noticed and wont cause bad tire wear.

I really am oblivious to proper wheel alignment.

 

Don't do it. You'll regret it. I like the stance look but will not sacrifice my car or life for it. Don't do it.

 

I really appreciate you guys' input, maybe the stance look isn't the way to go. But my question is though, is -2 camber bad? And will just intrax low me enough to get any negative camber?

 

Yes you will have negative camber with Intrax. It's not enough though IMO that you will have the "stanced" look, and the tops of the wheels aren't fully tucked into the fenders anyway with Intrax (or any 3rd gen spring for that matter), so camber or not you can't achieve the "stanced" look regardless on a 3rd gen.

BTW - just to be clear, camber kits are meant to add POSITIVE camber, in order to correct negative camber problems. It almost sounds like you're under the impression camber kits are for the purpose of adding negative camber. Though I suppose if they have an incredibly wide range of adjustment you could use them to give even more negative camber.

Honda people will swear to you and argue with you that excessive negative camber won't roast your tires. They swear that if your toe is in spec that you will have no uneven tire wire. That's never been my experience. When my camber has been way off on my Maximas in the past my tires have always roasted on the inside edges. I don't see how your tires can be like this / \ and it possibly wear evenly.

 

I'm assuming ur all talking about that hella flush Bullshyt!! I seen this 92 civic bubble the other day that was so low with crazy negative cambered wheels that looked like Hella Assss!! I'm not a hater of Honda's, actually I own a 5thgen Lude('99) and HATE when I see these kids driving these POS around thinking they have race cars when 99.9% of those civics have nothing real done in the performance department(CAI doesn't count).

 

 

Appreciate it guys. I'll leave it alone.

 

Camber kits are meant to go both ways. And your best bet would be to get top plates from a set of coilovers. Much easier to adjust. Also anything over like a full degree will wear your tires faster. The farther away from that 1 degree plus or minus the faster the tire will wear. Im hunter certified for alignments. Adding some negative camber like 1.5 to 2 degrees does help some steering issues but anything more than that adversely affects handling unless youre setting up for oval track lol

 

even if you lower it alot you wont see the camber really, i was lowered 2.2 inches and 2.0 inches, couldnt see the camber and it just wore out my tires horribly. as in the edge of the tire was bald and the rest had a ton of tread lol

 

Did tis 2 are 3G...like 3G sig pic!!

 

Don't bother if you're going to be on lowering springs.
