I just got a pair of an adjustable SPC balljoint camber kit for my rear and i cannot find anyone who will install it. Anyone have any suggestion where? I live about 30 minutes North from Center City. I really need to do this ASAP due to stock tires are about to blow. THanx

 

why do you need that part? the s2000's camber is pretty adjustable fromt he factory.

pretty much you dont need camber work unless your lowered more than 2''.

 

I got my car alignment done but they still cannot adjust the rear and told me i need to get a new camber.

Secondly i needed a second opinion, so I took it to my friend shop at philly's dyno and they told me the same thing. Only that they would install it but the stock need to be press out. They don't have the equipment for that. Many ppl from S2KI forums told me the same. Any idea?

 

how much rear camber do you plan on running?

i was able to get -3 on 9'' wide VOLKS.

 

something doesn't sound right. was your car previously wrecked?

You cannot put the adjustable ball joints on and use 16" wheels either. I see you have a 2003, so you will need 17" wheels minimum and not be able to use the stock wheels ever (even though you say your stock tires are about to blow).

read the paper that came with the adj ball joints...

 

yea I know, i got a set of 18"Ce28 from Brad (9kscreamer) but the tire were rubbing like hell. I wasn't planning to put back the stock.
with camber, I am leaning toward more of wareout problem than a performance right now. Again I am a Nu-B at these thing.
Thnax for reply.

 

the tires on those wheels are tall.... look at the size... 255/40/18... .i think 255/35/18 is what size they should be.

that is probably why you are rubbing.

 

thats true for sure. I just got a new set of 235/40/18 BFG. G force (same tire w/ different profile)
R/T Tunning is gonna install the camber and mount the tire at the same time. he said that this profile should clear the rubbing part. Hope he's right. What do you think? Is this gonna fix my problem?

 

you still don't need the camber kit..... you can get -3 degrees out of the rear..... any more than that (which is why you would get the adjustable ball joints) will just wear out the inside of the tire in about 2k miles....

just get it aligned properly.... i would guess rear camber on a street car is -1 at the most....

 

I took the car in this morning to get it install and aligned. The guy told me the same thing that you did and i told him "well lets see what you can do with the stock camber, if you don't think its needed, i prefer not to put the new one on" So just now i just pick up the car and i got the reading on my alignment print out:

-.8 degree front left and right is most he could do.
-2.5 degree to the rear left and right after camber install.

Is this reading ok? He said S2000 front and rear has to be about 1 degree apart from each other. Also said to keep eyes out for tire ware. If it is then i might need a front camber too.

Live and learn. It is done already, nothing i can do about it now. Thanx guyz
