Camber adjustments with coilovers


Recommended Posts

  • Admin

Been thinking about this since installing coilovers for the first time the other day. Is there a different bolt I should be using besides a standard one like the bottom mount has? The eccentric current one does nothing with the larger hole in the coilovers.

With the high torque on these you could assume it won’t loosen/slip back and forth but prefer to know than just assume.

Do others just set it where they want to minimize or maximise the available camber?

Eccentric bolts are usually thinned down for the shocks like factory without slots 

Most slotted ones you just use the normal straight bolts, the amount of contact area and clamping force holds them in place.

 

some do have special washer that turn and adjust the camber or you get a set that you change out to adjust to preset angles.

MCA do list camber washers as an option for lower models and supplied with higher models. email or call them they are friendly B|

 

the wheel alignment tech will set them for you based on the actual degrees you ask for if you them the shocks have adjustment on that bolt. Before that I usually just force them to the inside so atleast both sides are even and maximum camber. Good way to wear out tires though if you wait too long.

 

I have the Tony's tire alignment card thing. Pay extra $50 on first alignment and get 5 for next two years. Can be handy for swapping shocks or going to track setup and back. Plus they swap tires around etc. Yip I'm that lazy now, car on hoist and tires all rotated.

Thinner camber bolts can stretch and break... they are very weak compared to the standard bolts because they are so thin.

If you can't get adjustable top hats you could go to pick a part and get some eccentric bolts from the bottom hole and grind

out the top hole of the strut and knuckle.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
