Default - camber

Hi all, just enquiring on best options for getting more neg camber in my wagon. Have hsd coilovers already with camber bolts. Doesn't appear to be much neg at the moment but need a bit more to fit rims in. Any advice appreciated. Thanks Nathan

Whiteline lateral links. Suggested to me by Doug from STechnic. Had a issue with my wheels rubbing and had the maximum amount of camber that I could with my coilovers. After they were installed and -1.5 camber added the rubbing issue went out the window.

I thought one of the main reason you get coilovers is all the adjustment? I've got -2.75 front and -2.25 rear off factory bolts, links etc..

How are you getting well over 1 degree more than everyone else in the world? Everything I have read is around 1 to 1.5 degrees maximum for factory stuff.

Rears aren't adjustable without camber bolts (unsure if you can do the turn the spherical bolt upside down in the GR's).

Are you sure your coil over adjustment at the top is maxed out? I know with my car I get around -5 deg front and rear if I want it, I do have rear camber tops though, not sure if you do? Rear camber tops, if you dont have them, will obviously get you where you need to be I would say. I am sure you are aware that the more negative camber you run, the quicker your tyres are going to wear out.

Saying that, you can also elongate the bottom hole of your strut & use the camber bolt in the bottom hole instead of the top, which will get you a little bit more but not much.

I managed to get just over -3 degrees (currently at -2.5) at the front with WL camber bolts and stock suspension.
I know that Kym has lowered springs, thought that a lowered car will have a bit more camber compared to oem?

I believe there is a negative camber gain from lowering in the rear only. Suspension geometry front and rear are different.

If you have HSDs which have camber plates and camber bolts as mentioned you will be able to get plenty. Just visit a proper alignment workshop they should be able to sort this out easily.
