Default Camber question

I'm thinking about adding a 4deg camber to the rear.
Anyone have any pictures and how much angle is on their box?
How much camber is on the Fabulous kits?

I know the tire wear will be great but I just want the look for shows.

by 4 degrees i'm assuming you mean negative camber... how much does the fabulous kit have? which one are you talking about... there about a half dozen shots of different xa/ist xb/bB cars with the kit... you need to be more specific. as far as getting that kind of camber, you could always lower your rear end till you get the -4... or you can get a camber kit or coilover kits with camber adjustable pillow ball upper mounts. i'm glad you have money to waste on tires instead of wasting it on something like a supercharger or something...

u mean how many degrees does the car with a fabulous kit on it have? it probably has 3 degrees that is the most common shim but just about any machine shope can make shims in just about any degree . and no matter how low you dump it the rear suspension design on these cars will not change the camber because of ride height. only on dual a arm suspensions and some other independent rear suspensions can this happen. and yes wasting that much money on tires is kinda ludacris but as the saying goes " you have to pay to play" and screw the supercharger drop in some sort of celica motor. yup yup

I bought deep dish wheels and realized the rear wheels already have about a 1/2 degree negative. Be careful how much you drive on that negative camber for you will be riding on the sidewall. I plan on getting a set more like 2 degrees or something. Show only. It will be easy to swap them on and for the shows. But I wouldn't use them everyday. Keep in mind the bB's and ist's that you see in mags from Japan are driven a couple times a week at best. This is how they get away with crazy camber on about any car there.

It looks tight when done right. Looking good is more expensive, but the same tire wasting argument could be made for lopro tires compared to the treadlife on stockies.

Opr8r runs some neg camber on his box. Altho I think he said he removed it for his trip to the midwest. Definitely gives that JDM VIP look:
