Got Camber Kit

I picked up a front and rear camber kit for my car to finally fix my camber problem. With my car being so low this was a must. I picked up SPC Performance front camber kit 66030 Right, 66035 Left and for the rear 66020 (2). The front has new control arms and the rear is offset bushings. To say the least the install was pretty much all day. I went to New Century Tire in Westminster, my wheels and tire shop for the last couple of years. This is the third or fourth LX that they have done. The difference is unreal considering that I was out 3 degrees in the rear. If you have camber issues this is the way to go.

Did you have to measure the outer rear bushing diameter before ordering the rear camber kits?

If I understand the following SPC info, it says there are 2 different bushing sizes for the rears and we need to measure them before ordering the rear camber kits. This seems like a big hassle and a lot of work to measure the outer bushing diameter.

Got any before and after pics?

Welcome to SPC Performance - Performance Suspension Tuning for Sport Compacts, Racing, Hod Rods, Muscle Cars and More!

These vehicles were produced with varying sizes of bushings - to find out which part number is the correct size for your application download this template:

http://www.spcalignment.com/PROD_DIR...0_TEMPLATE.pdf

You will need to measure the outer bushing diameter on the most forward upper arm on the rear suspension.


Part numbers 66010 and 66020 include one 41.5mm bushing and one 39.5 bushing.

Part numbers 66080 and 66085 both 39.5mm

Rear Adjustment range:
66010, 66080 Camber ±.75 degree
66020, 66085 Camber ±1.5 degree

unfortunately no pics....I know that is not my style. I've got a ton going on with the holidays and work sorry.


Pretty much my car is slammed. The rear cradle on the KW V2's is set at its lowest point I went with the -1.5 -+1.5 kit for the rear.

Subscribing.... thanks for the info. Just installed my V2's at the lowest setting last month, sure I'll opt for camber kits sooneer or later as I was going to do them on my first visit, but just figured I'd run it this way first.

Thanks for the info, please let us know any problems/improvements after a few weeks.

Trust me if you are at the lowest setting you will eat tires alive with the camber so far out. One day of driving and well worth it.
