Rear Camber Maxed Out
Hey guys,
So I took MY01 to a reputable alignment shop in LA (West End Alignment, Gardena), and they mentioned that they couldn't add any POSITIVE camber to the rears. They're at -3 CAMBER, .25in TOE IN, and she's lowered to about 1 finger gap but certainly not slammed.
Being that I haven't had my s2k for longer than a year, I'm not too sure how rear camber adjustment works and what its limits are. Could this be due to bent arms, or is this the limit? I mean, he mentioned I may need to raise it a little so he can have some camber range to work with, or get camber adjustment parts (ball joints, arm, etc.) and pull my fender a little. Any advice?

How is your car lowered? I've heard West End mentioned quite a bit and I would imagine they know how to align an S. Your car must be considerably lower than 1".

It's to low to get any more positive camber. Raise it and you'll get adjustment range back. Or you install sliding upper ball joints. Shifting the subframe can equalize unequal adjustment range, not going to add a degree of positive adjustment range.

So it's a normal issue that everyone deals with then. Good to know... Are the SOS units considered the best by consensus? What's this I hear about a "Megan Control Arm?"
