Question about Camber and Coilovers...

Post by El_Ade »

Hey Guys..

I've been looking for coilovers to purchase I'm specifically looking for some coilovers that have BOTH front and rear adjustable camber. The coilovers BC offers seem to only have front adjustable camber. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction of where i can find some that have adjustable camber both front and rear?

Cheers..

Right, my pologies for not picking that up.

So I'd be able to reflect the front camber from my coilovers to the rear quite easily?

JDM inspired Project track car, without getting into much detail..
I'll have a look round some other forums, I'm sure someone has done it before.

I was running -3 front and -2 rear but have recently put back to -2 front, basically had very little difference in tyre wear but did make car more twitchy and unstable under braking and nasty straight uneven roads. even now its not that stable on the straights but managable but on the twistys its pure heaven
