parello9 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Going to lower my car finally soon but want to tuck tyre a bit Are these boys running like this using just simply camber arms do you think? I know its about wheel spec etc but in order to do this just eibach camber arms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Love a bit of Camber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I had 3 degrees of negative camber by NOT fitting camber arms You'll want ones which go longer than normal to push the wheels out like that. *Awaits the "it looks stupid/broken" crowd arrival* :snack: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desey Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Yes but you'll need new tyres every 4 months Looks awesome though:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Yes but you'll need new tyres every 4 months Looks awesome though:-) 8 Months if you swap them over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Yes but you'll need new tyres every 4 months Looks awesome though:-) 8 Months if you swap them over 4 months and 10 minutes if you give them to me after one side has been worn out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parello9 Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 So will the ebicah rear camber arms be perfect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 If they go longer than standard yep, I can't find any specs on the bolt hole to bolt hole length for them though. You'll need toe bolts as the more camber you get the more weird toe you'll get too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 You'll need both camber and toe arms which means you'll need a full coilover set up. With that much camber you'll have way way too much toe in, much more than the adjustment bolts can cope with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parello9 Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 Thats the main thing that confuses me is the toe but you get all that in the kit I mean ive got enough poke and stretch with my wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 parello whats the specs of your wheels now width/tyres size tet etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Thats the main thing that confuses me is the toe but you get all that in the kit I mean ive got enough poke and stretch with my wheels You only get camber arms with the kit, you will also need toe arms which are pretty rare along with a true coilover setup. Either that or spl mid links which are around £400 I believe. The bolts on the eibach kit only add a degree or so to the OEM adjustment which is fine for normal lowering, but not this slammed stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got zero toe on the standard bolts and mine is fairly low, not slammed, but fairly low! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rear toe is within "acceptable tolerances" on the standard toe bolts. front toe is zero. Sorry for the lies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desey Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 i was running -3 camber and when the inside part of the tyre was slick to the centre part of the tyre, there was still about 2.5mm tread on the outside!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 ...................... Either that or spl mid links which are around £400 I believe. I wish closer to £600 with the springs - Just so happens I have a set in the cupboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's no way we could get the slammed broken camber arm look without toe arms, unless you want the toe in to be about 5 degrees, which I'm sure would throw the back end all over the place.

I wish mate, unless you'll let them go for about £200 I'm assuming that's 2.5" internal diameter? I'm sure my K Sports are bigger than that, that's almost true coilover spring sizes.
