Does anybody know were can I get a camber kit to correct the positive camber of the airlift strut?

Thanks

 

your not the only one with it... i have a buddy with the same problem with the same kit..good luck let me kow what you find

 

Could you post a pic of what exactly its doing? im looking at ordering the kit your talking about, and if it happens to a bunch of people, then id like to order up the parts to fix it along with the struts. Thanks!

 

Cusco Camber plates - i have perfect camber *knock on wood* no alignment needed

yes. im a miricle worker

pm MyboX and mention that i sent you to get a set for a good price

* the camber plates are a dirct bolt on for the most part, you'll either need to make a bushing (easy) or have one made (easier) and they bolt right on, slide the plate to -3 degree setting, and Whamo! you've got camber

come to think of it, if you run stock/lowering coils, you can use those to get -3 deg camber up front too!

you can direct q's at my pm box

 

So the ES struts have postive camber at what position? Full drop or what?

 

They produce about a half degree prositive camber. Not much adjustment to fix it unless you get the camber plates. Now I have the camber plates, but don't have the bushing needed to install them. A consequence from not correcting it yet has cracked my new JDM side skirts cuz the fender pulled up. oh well. How about someone send me some bushings so I can finish my project?!

 

Can this camber be fixed with like the eibach camber bolt kit? Also, the camber is the same throughout the ES struts stroke? (0 psi to full-lift)?

 

How much does the cusco camber plates cost? and what is a bushing? Thanks..

 

Rebelman i think the positive camber is the same throughout from 0 psi to full fill... I'm not sure if it will be fix with the camber bolts... I think it will not correct the camber..

 

the camber bolts cant fix it with the ES strut because the stock spindle will hit the strut body before the proper adjustment angle is reached.

as for the cusco plates, you're looking to spend about 300

the bushing is the replacement "3-dimensional" washer that center's the ES strut in the plate -- JDMjim - it can be made by drilling out a 1/2" hole in a tight fitting Socket (from any hardware store)

i had a my dad's friend lathe me one from aluminum -- side effect, i think i got a bit o' slop by now (10k miles i think?)

 

Wow thanks for the info man

If it's possible, if/when you replace your bushings could you take pics of what you're talking about? I'm glad to know that it's not too difficult to get the cusco plates to work with the ES struts. I heard before that it couldn't be done ... for the $300 for the -3 camber and an awesome JDM piece, i think it's worth it!

Guess i'll have to save up a little more now >_<;

 

but remember, you already have about a half degree positive. so you'l prolly get about 2 degrees negative AND you have to be careful how much camber you do cuz there is an airbag and an air fitting sticking from the side of it.

 

I had ground control fab me up some camber plates. I have yet to install them but will take pics. They do look like they are the same as MR2 camber plates Im tyring to get specs so I can measure to see if they are the same.

 

Yep ... on a side note, is the postive camber really bad? Or is it just a "look" thing? I'm sure it's hardly noticeable anyhow right? Currently with my tanabe df210's up front i have postive camber too right?

 

Naa its just the airride that cuases the camber and its very noticable and youll need new fenders after a little bit. Kinda like I do now cuase of the 20s.

i have this same problem.... ive been looking at several options to resolve this. I work on SCCA porsche cup cars on a daily in my auto body shop... and they use a low budjet method of hogging out the upper strut mounts holes. I really wonder if this method is good enough for SCCA race cars, would it be feasable on my box. Ive already ruined my fenders with my air ride/17x8.5" +25 offset works. this positive camber bugs the HELL out of me.

 

I've seen the lower mounts done that way to correct the problem. I considered it, but went with cusco plates so that I could maintain the space between the back of the wheels and the struts.

 

Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but I wondered if there were any new developments here? I just installed air ride and have the ES front struts and have some serious positive camber issues now. I was looking at the camber correction bolt kit things, but it appears from a previous post in this thread those won't work. Are the camber plates the only option still? And if so, where's a good place to buy them from? I wouldn't be so concerned with the camber if it was just a tire-wear issue, but the camber is so positive that I can't drop the front end fully without hitting the fenders.

And just for clarification, we ARE talking about the front, right? Because that's where I have my positive camber issues.
