Camber kit?
 
I have a 1995 max, and I was wondering if they made camber kits for it. i'm lowering it, and want to do it totally failsafe by putting a camber kit on as well. If so, where can I get one (for the front and back wheels) and also, about how much do they cost? Thanks!

The camber of the rear wheels should never, EVER change.

Eibach and Progress make bolt kits for the front. Stillen and Cattman make camber plates for the front.

So what would I need if I was to lower my car with H&R springs? Do I need the bolt kits and camber plates? Sorry, and don't really know a whole lot about this. Also do you know about how much it would cost for what I need?

You shouldn't need to change camber if you use H&R's. I think it only needs to be done if you go with more than a 2-inch drop.

If you're hell-bent on doing something about the camber you can get either the bolt kit or the camber plates. The plates are around $200 and the bolts are around 40-50 (I think). The advantages of the plates are that you can easily change the camber for the type of driving that you will do (auto-x, strip, or street). If you don't race and are still hell-bent on changing the camber then get the bolts but, as previously stated, you should be fine if you're using H&R's.

Thank you, that helped me out a lot. I'm probly going to get the bolt kit. My installer told me that it is extremely important to make sure the camber is in perfect order, even if it is just a slight adjustment. Do you know the best company for a bolt kit? or are they all pretty equal? Thanks a lot.

I think the camber bolt kits are pretty equal, but I'm no expert. I'd probably just go for what you can get the best deal on.

Is there any difference between Eibach and Ingalls camber bolt kits?

Eric L. 01-03-2003 01:25 PM

I have the Ingalls camber bolts, paid around $25 for the two front ones I think. They work well, but you need to torque the hell out them. Good luck.

i just installed kyb agx struts and sprint springs on my 95 se and i didn't have to adjust the camber much in the front just a simple alignment will do

I recently noticed that from looking at the front of the car. The passenger front wheel seems to bend inward at the top, but the driver side is fine. I took it to Tire Kingdom, and the guy said that the I need a camber kit. He referred me to Sonic Boom, a motorsports store that I'm familiar with. Is this something I can do by myself; labor is like $75. Moreover, will a simple alignment take care of it? I lowered my car with H&R's and KYB AGX's.
