the hotchkis tuning rear camber links can be adjusted between 1-3 degrees....im wondering, who has the camber links and whatg degrees do u have them at?

I have a 2003 GTS, lowered 2" all around with eibach sportlines, 6000 miles on car, no shocks/struts YET (still stock),

I will ONLY be using driving this car on the street...i do not and will not race the car....just need opinions, want to order the links but want to know ahead of time, what degree is good.....thanks alot guys/gals

Stock camber should be -1.1 degrees in the rear, let the alignment shop adjust the links so they can align the car back to stock specs.

If the shop cannot get -1.1 anything below say -1.6 will be fine as long as the toe is set to right around 0

Toe eats up tires, camber does not

camber does also eat up the inside of the tire but much less then toe

i plan on getting the hotchikis camber kit for me rear because my cars rear tires look like its at a 45 degree angle lol, do you think that a allignment will be good enough for the fronts? i have about a finger gap on the front if that helps at all. just wanna know before i spend the money.

went to Auto Addictions in PA today, and found out that with my drop (2 inches) that it would be best to get the eibach springs alignment kit....i did not need a full hotchkis camber kit, the total came to like 65 for 2 of the eibach alignment kit....

Why are there questions in this forum on adjustment??? Call the company!!! They made the money off of you, not us.

Fact not Fiction!

To the last post, glad the Eibach piece did the job... They MADE it just for you!!!!

people come here to ask questions that they most likely don't know and are lost on where to find the answer. is that a crime?? if all companies gave the answer to every question that exist about their product, this board will run out of it's use

so chill out
