Camber bolts

[tCfrk86]

I bought some adjustable camber bolts for my tC to put on after i install the springs i got, would it be best to have a pro install them and adjust my camber or can i put them on and drive it to someone and have them align it. Oh and its only the front.

if you put them in and the shop isn`t too far then i would put them in myself. some shops may likely charge to install them and for the alignment.

what kinda springs you got? i got s-techs and dont need em, but if i went lower i would. and the camber prob. is worse in the rear than in the front.

I did too but i heard that the front was worse than the rear, how bad is it cause i really dont have the money to be going through tires right now?

if your on s-techs, your gonna be fine. the front camber will fall into spec with the toe adjustment(dont think there is a front camber adjustment). and the rear will BARELY fall into camber spec. my mechanic was hangin like a monkey off of the bolt.(he hated my car that day). so u should be aight, as long as your in the green(spec) then your tires wont suffer much. and as long as you dont go lower than s-techs(or your car is loaded down when you bring it to the shop) you should be fine with stock bolts and what not.


note: if you have the oem lip kit, make sure to watch them when putting it on the rack, my lip was seriously 2cm from the metal rack, close!!!, so close he had to get outa the car and roll it forward to clear the rack. good luck

I do have the s-techs, but are you saying that i should still get an alignment? Oh and how long have you had them on?

[triniosito]

get the alighment

[JoshCrane1]

U must get an alignment a few weeks after you install the springs, you will be alright. ive had em on for over a year now. stock shocks still.

You need the alignment otherwise you will have to by new tires in like 8-10 thousand miles. Just wait a week or two to let the springs settle and then take it to a place to get the alignment done. You probably wont even need the camber bolts.

If your looking to be able to adjust your suspension, just get some good coilovers. I learned my lesson living in minnesota and having a lowered car. I'm getting coilovers by next winter so i can raise it back up so I'm not using my bumper as a snow plow lol

Thanks guys.

Some people don't need camber bolts some dude. all depends on variables. My suggestion is to have them and get it alignment, just to be safe

Okay I don't understand, Im about to buy the S tech's too but some are saying don't buy cam bolts but get it alined. If you don't get the cam bolts then there are two other ways to aline it. That is lower offset ball joints or uper tower plates."Ether way" to get the front done you've got to do one of the three. What I'm looking at is the rear, those bars cost more than the springs do which sucks. If the S tech's don't throw it off that bad then I don't know what I need to buy before I get started with it.

[JoshCrane1]

your overthinking it all, just buy the springs, get em installed, and then get an alignment. your alignment will be a little hard but nothing a experienced mechanic cant handle. you will be ok. i did the same and have had no problems or issues with alignment or anything.
