Default More Rear Negative Camber w/ J's Racing Products?

Hi all,

I did a search trying to find anything on adding more negative camber on my S2k. The only thing that came up was the SPC Camber kit: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=246023

I know J's Racing makes the SPL Rear Roll Center Adj. and front SPL Camber joint.

The front camber joints are pretty self explanatory. But would the rear roll center adj aid in achieving more negative camber?

My S2k has Volk CE28n 18 x 8.5 +47 in the rear. Wrapped with Advan AD07 255/35-18. The Advans have a rather squarish profile, so there were some rubbing issues. Its dropped to within about 1.25in gap all around. The rear fender lips are rolled. After I installed the coilovers and wheel/tire package; I took the car for an alignment. Now, there is no fender lip rubbing, but the tire does still rub on the bolt that holds the rear bumper onto the fender. This is the only place it though.

I was hoping to get just enough negative camber to clear this bolt. Any advice? Would the J's Rear Roll Center Adj. help with this? Would the SPC Camber kit help with this? Is the SPC kit good quality? Nothing but the best for my S

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Marco

What the heck? How in the world are you exceeding factory camber adjustment limits? You're gonna end up spending more money on tires than those wheels are worth in no time.

You can always take a hammer onto your upper control arm and bend it down . Or get tires that aren't as wide and just have em stretch a bit.

The real problem is that you bought wheels that don't have the correct offsets. Buy some wheels that fit underneath the car and save yourself some headache. Simply increasing camber will not fix the problem, as you are forgetting the suspension geometry changes throughout compression and rebound. Simply dialing in four degrees of negative camber will not provide a solution and will have serious secondary consequences.
