Getting Rear wheels to 0 camber?, Try as I might, still at -1 Options

[Harold_Fastwaker]

I just installed my megan coilovers, fronts are still at 0, but the damn rears wont get past -1. Yes, I can go have an alignment done but I do not feel like spending $100 right now. I have tried everything I can think of, including me pulling the top of the knuckle as hard as I can and having someone else crank down the bolts. Doing this got me to -1 instead of being as negative as possible. Any thoughts on how you guys did it?


Oh, and in sad news the left rear stabilizer bar link was rusted over and impossible to swap to the new housing. So that has to be ordered, until then I will drive around with no stabilizer bar. Then on the rear right tire I found a 2 inch sheet metal screw in my tread which when I slightly touched leaked air and needs to be plugged. So awesome to have a plug in a tire that has less than 2k miles on it.


SO, why the hell can't I ever upgrade something on my car without half the other **** attached to it being dead.

I lowered the coilover height by some. I don't know exactly because it was trial and error. I was on Teins to begin with so I lowered it another 1.75inches or so front and rear, maybe more. My rear tires are tucking under the fender and my fronts are as low as they can go to allow me turning clearance. They are a few MM's from touching the tire in the front.

Final settings will take place when I replace the rear link and my rear spacers. Then I will go back and adjust my camber front and rear to how I want it and lower the car more. I would say I still have a good 1 inch or more of drop left in the coilover tube. If I want it to go lower I need a lower series tire than the 45s I have on it now. But to me, anything below 40 series looks dook on a celica cause our wells are huge.

so basically right now, there is no gap between tire and fender all around.
