Just ordered the front Camber kit from K-mac ,a little pricy but I want my car in spec and this is a sure way to to get it there being lowered ....I'll try to post some pics after I get them installed....anyone else on the forum installed these on the front of their car ,,please chime in with some info ...

 

I think BrianBrave has them... I would like to see pics of the install and numbers after alignment.....

 

Funny thing here. My front alignment didn't change from the lowering. Only the rear got really negative on the camber. Do you need the front camber kit? I was looking into them for the front to be able to dial in more negative camber on my car.

Yes I need it I'm as close as i;m going to get with the bolts and that aint cuttin it I'm wearing the inside of the tires down , and I really want it to be right , I dont like the look of the tires riding out even if its only slight. I had pondered about getting the k-macs and when I changed my wheels out and saw the wear it made up my mind on the spot..,,I would imagine you could get negative with them too..I will post some good pictures of the kit when it arrives and you can see if they will work for you .

 

I looked into them years ago and if I remember correctly they have 3º of adjustment. I have negative 2.4º now and it's enough. I'd like to have them anyway because they're poly.
It's the spacers you know. The farther out the wheels are the more the camber is exaggerated.

Les

 

Yes the rear of my car has the adjustables on it with a 10mm spacer,,, the front is perfect without any spacer its just the front camber I have a problem with..,,I looking forward to getting them installed and then it will be time for new rubber

 

He Les, how wide are your spacers that you're able to get -2.4?

And when I put spacers on my fronts I got a nasty steering wheel wobble. Did you have this problem? If so, how did you over come it?

I had 10mm spacers on the front of the Aero for quite some time and never had any wobble, or anything else..... you were using hub centric, right?

 

Yes, hub centric...weird I know.

 

I wonder if one of your spacers was not truely flat and was throwing some extra toe on one side??? that is odd.....

 

I started with 5 mm and had wobble problems so I got Ichiba 10 mm and they were golden. I got the extra camber with the 18x9's with a 30mm offset. I have a picture of the alignment screen somewhere.

Arrived Today

 

Howard, I see how they will alter the adjustments with the off-set bushings. Must they be pressed in a certain position? And once pressed in the control arm, can they be rotated for adjustments?

James

 

That is correct James , a lot of adjustment either way positive or negative.. , I'm looking forward to getting them installed .

 

I just don't understand how they "adjust" or rotate once pressed into the control arm.

 

I haven't really looked them over very close but later tonight I will try to take some detailed pics with the bolts apart and laid out..maybe I will better understand too..

 

James I think the bushing actually rotates around the bolt and then there is a splined washer on the bushing that locks by using the washers under the nut that are splined also if that makes sense .

 

Thanks Les,
I was hoping you got the extra - camber with just the spacer but at least I can see a way to get there based on what you've done.
And my spacers are also 5mm so switching to 10 will hopefully solve the wobble for me also.

And thanks to the other guys for their input.

Following hcarters work here to see what happens

 

Update , Got the last of the parts today for the front end rebuild . Lower Ball Joints , Koni Sport Shocks , New Steering Stabilizer/Damper , and K-mac Adjustable Bushings . already replaced upper control arms when I cut the springs. Joints come in this morning. Time to go to work...

 

Can you give me an idea of what replacing the goods under the front has cost you? Did you go with anything special for replacements? Koni's were mentioned and adjustment kits noted.
