Camber kit, needed for the rear? Options

[samir0189]

Im planning on dropping the car, i'm in the process of collecting parts as i get the money so i can do it all at once.

I have bad un-adjustable camber in the front as it is, and i intend on getting the camber kit for the front for sure cause i know lowering will only make it worse.

My question is should i get the rear one too, because i notice there is some bar back there in the rear that has adjustment bolts, what is that for!? I searched but i couldn't find anyone talking about that bar with adjustable bolts in the rear from stock, whats it do?


and i've also seen that people said you can get "crash" bolts from the dealer for cheaper than the eibach kits, but noone has provided a part number, anyone got one?

might as well get ones for the rear also. that way when you get your car aligned, you can mark a line that you can refer back to when and if you change the camber settings for "better turning"

i figured that i should get the ones for the back too, cause i was originally gonna order them online, BUT now that i see these crash bolt things i'm more interested in how those work!

ive been doing alot of research and found

Anyone know how these work?

according to the second link, you just push and pull the strut in the direction of the desired camber?! how accurate can you get it like that?

Does the eibach one have a more proper way of adjusting or is it the same deal?

eibachs lets you adjust 1.75 degrees both ways. you turn the bolt instead of pushing the strut. before i took it in i adjusted the camber myself. when they scanned the car, they showed me that the rears are perfectly aligned across, but they tweaked it a little more. just to give you an idea that you can do it yourself. one thing you really cant do is fix your toe-in and caster without the machine.

Cool. Thanks Jon.

I guess Im gonna go with the eibachs so I dont have to be ghetto and push the struts back and forth.
