[/list]aiight guys besides me being totlly in love wit hthis body kit ... i was wondering if the rear wheels were supposed to be angled like that. ive seen this before on lowered cars and was wondering if its bad becasuse my brother lowerd his 98 eclipse w/ sum goldlines and the rear wheels lookthe same. dont get me wrong... it looks pretty tight but i hope its not bad. any info on this?


~saeed~

 

its called camber it can wear down the insides of your tires very quickly im sure someone with some more experince in it can help you out but ya it looks sweet but your tire life gets shorted, do a search on camber and see what you come up with

 

sweet, i thought it was like gonna mess up ur suspension and like ur shocks and struuts but if tires is the only bad apart i think its pretty worth it.

look in here for more info
Camber that is made from lowering your car creates toe which actually eats away your tires more then just the camber.

 

i like how he thinks the body kit made the tires sit that way...
he he

 

the wheels are like that because the box is on bags....

when the car is lowered to the max with the bags, the wheels angle themself. the wheels have negative camber

negative camber is bad on the tires, but the pictures shown above, the boxes will not drive like that, they will raise the car to make it at a drivable highest, with the proper camber

 

those actually probably have camber plates on them, most xbs with bags dont have that much camber with bags along they also have camber plates to create that drastic look

 

no im not retarded, the body kit has nothing to do with the suspension. what r u thinking?i said, besides thebody kit... the wheels look funny. see?

 

I didn't know we had independent suspension on the rear !!!!

Mine has an different set up.

Now that I made a joke ha ha , if you lower our boxes I am under the impression that the type of suspension we got doesn't change the camber that way.

We learn something new all the time.

 

well i love it, i thiks it looks soo tite!i just love everything about those two boxes. i want that body kit now... even though it cost more than my life.

 

what are u talkin about dude? i explained that it was on bags, do u not know what that means?

 

so r u saying that once he raises his car , that the wheels wont be angled like that and the car looks normal?

 

yes, thats exactly what im saying. do you not know what airbags are?

 

Were you refering to me? As "dude", just plain rude if it was.

Now, check out under our cars, putting "bags" on them will not give you that much camber, no matter how low you go.The rear suspension is not independent, like a lot of Hondas, Toyotas ( Corolla comes to mind, I used to build them at the Manufacturing Plant not far from my house).
You can check out the online manual here or go to your local parts house, they can explain it better with a picture/diagram than I can here in writing.

Those cars got bags, yeah I got that. Did they install independent rear suspension, the only way it would change that drastically when going up and down ( adding air or releasing air)

 

i was talking to daboxk, the guy who initially posted this thread.

 

looks sweet

 

I like it too!

 

Never been a fan of the ultra-cambered VIP/JDM look. But, the body kit and tails on that white xB are awesome.

 

OOOOOOO I REALLY like the two tone white one. That is nice. Maybe I will get that kit someday..... who makes it? The cambering looks retarded and like you broke an axle...... Not feelin it......

 

its a japaneese body kit called noblesse. its the bet one ive seen yet. but yeah i know what bags are lol
but ive seen lowered boxes with bags that the rear wheels dont look lik ethat but yetserday i was doing a lil research and i found out that they make kits that angle the rear wheels inwards like that so its something u can do. iono bout the pricing. but yeah that body kits front bumber only is like $700! still pretty tite tho
