Ok so who is using what to compensate for negative camber up front?

[DopeCelicaGT]

I am having some major camber problems up front and well am now looking at my options. What are you guys using to get everything adjusted correctly? All I am seeing being sold for our cars is the rear camber kits, nothing for the front end.

For the front you can use eccentric cam bolts in the strut mounts. They are made by Eibach who calls it a proalignment kit part # 5.81270K. You can achieve an extra 1.75 deg. neg. camber over stock.

I have this kit for sale if you are interested in purchasing it. It retails for $35 but I am selling them for $25 shipped if your interested.

^^^Why are you selling it?

[MicaCeli]

You should not have much neg camber in the front at all. I have camber plates so that I can have some Neg camber.

Why not have that much camber? I think that is even in the stock spec range. I thought it went to -1.8 for stock spec. Why spend $35, when Factory crash bolts will get you to -3 degrees and they cost about 5 bucks a piece at most. So that's $20 for the whole setup.

There is a pdf around this forum somewhere about how to adjust these. Basically remove bolt, put in new bolt, tighten and torque to spec. Then go get the alignment done or do it yourself.

I'm going to be selling a set of these as well. I am going to be using Cusco camber plates on the car. The thing that makes the eccentric bolts better than the crash bolts is that they fit the holes correctly. They are much less prone to slipping than the crash bolts. The extra $15 is worth it IMO in that your alignment settings should last longer. A wheel alignment is alot more than $15...

Yeah, the Eibach camber bolts work better than the crash bolts! I am selling mine because I recently installed Tein SS-P's which have camber plates so I don't need the bolts anymore.

I am running -1.5 deg. of camber up front. Some autocrossers are running -2 degrees with minimal tire wear.

What camber problems do you think you have? The rears need a camber correction kit because of its multilink design. When lowered, the suspension will tend to camber the wheel more. A strut suspension doesn't change camber as much (if at all). It's the nature of the design.

Therefore, unless you have issues with not enough camber, you won't need these camber corection bolts.

You can use the hotchkis front strut bar with built in camber plates. I don't know how they would hold up with your trd coilovers though.

btw- i have one for sale ;)

Well, I am still having problems with the inside edge of my tires wearing out. There is like an inch or so of the tires, a section closest toward teh center of the car that is wearing really badly, even worse up front. Somne people claim it is a problem with toe and not the camber but the people that have aligned it in 3 different places all claim it is a camber issue so..! I dunno what to do but the car handles like ****. I thought I was going to lose it today going around a turn that I used to take at around 85mph, today I took it at 55-60mph and thought I was going to lose it. The tires seemed to lose traction, but mainly in the front where I seem to have the most problem with tire wear. I can't figure it out but I can honestly say the car handled better with nothing but stock struts and Hotchkis springs. However, the good news is I got all of the kinks worked out of the TRD coilovers so now I am stuck trying to figure out what is causing the bad handling now.
