Yes, I'm aware of this, in fact a co-worker with a Mazdaspeed3 was quite jealous of our factory capabilities. I was trying to say that NTB did adjust the camber and it went into OEM spec just barely (-2.0), but that it was adjusted to its full compensation and I'd imagine if I went any lower with the car I would have to do something to be able to get the car back into alignment. Maybe I'm mistaken, I thought there were kits out there for our cars that had more adjustment range than our stock systems.

I'm curious now, please let me know if I'm mistaken. I know you have been around for awhile second2none, I feel as if I'm still noobish. Fill me in, Im always willing to learn.

 

Ah man, it wasn't meant to be projected in that way. Everyone had to learn somewhere as I did prior. No worries on the question but you are correct. There is a limit before you are out of oem spec alignment specs. Thing is, the further your car is lowered. The more max camber you can dial in. Max camber stock with the car slammed is around -5.5 in the rears. If you didn't want to slam the car then there are kits like SPC which allow more camber to be dialed in at a normal ride height. Main thing is you want your toe in spec. If that isn't then you'll be eating through tires like crazy.

 

Settled or not, it didn't matter. Do a search and you'll hear people complain some brands lower the car one side more than others. Kind of annoying to be honest when you consider konis with springs is 800/900 ish already.

 

i have my toe like 9 degrees out side. i call it my stanky leg.

 

kw3 will be all you ever need

 

i just installed the buddy club n+ (with mucho help from hoang and ben) and it feels very good! and im pretty much tucked, but not slammed... ride feels very smooth...
it actually feels better than OEM, but then again, the OEMs have 80k miles on it... ben, hoang, and dennis have driven it, so they can vouch this...

 

Glad you guys got it done. I was buzzing when ben called and asked me how to adjust the coilover height.

 

 

Damn saki bombs had my head spinning. Just be glad you got it sorted while everything was still off. Adjusting the height on a shock body adjustable sytsem is a pain. Basically set it and forget.

 

hmmmm, your review on the ride makes me think i will be ok with BC N+ coilovers.

i just need to find some people to help install whatever suspension i get!
