What do you think about my alignment???

[TripeoXxX]

Alright, I installed my SPC front and rear camber kit today, then took my car to get an alignment. Here is the print out, let me know what you think. And also my rear passenger side tire is rubbing like a b***h after the alignment and camber kit install, whats up with that???

were is the tire rubbing at ?

The tire rubbing is the affect you get from keeping stock geometry on a lowered car. When you lower your car, the suspension geometry is like "T" that. When you using stock geometry "T" on a lowered car, it raises the suspension back up right, thus putting your tires closer to the body of the car.

On the outside part of the wheel well.

What is your suggestion??? It's only rubbing on one side, and has never done it for the past two years. Just now after the camber kit install and alignment.

uhh.. I dont know really. Youll probably have to have the shop adjust it so that its correcting your camber, but not hitting your wheel well.

No. If anything, it will shorten the length of the LCA, which would in essence rotate your tire MORE toward your wheel well.

You can roll your fenders and that will take care of it. If you cant do that you could always cut that little lip that sticks inward and put some touch up paint on the cut part so it doesnt rust. Just throwin out some ideas.

What size rims and tires are you running?

205/40 17

that is your problem, wtih that far of a drop on those rims and almost no negative camber in the rear you will rub.

What do you think about the rear toe, is it good???

 

[Evan.]

lol exactly what I said. Youll have to get teh shop to align it like I said, where its correcting some camber, but not hitting the wheel well. Of course you wont be able to correct all your camber. If it gets SO close to not making a difference in camber, you might as well sell your kit. Thats what I did.

Ordered some SPC LCA's cause they are .5" shorter than stock.

bro, I told you thats not what you want. The will pull your LCA in, or if you want to think about it this way, it will pull the BOTTOM or your tire in, thus pushing the TOP out (more toward the fender). Thats how people correct negative camber. It will only make your situation worse.

Installed my LCA's and got an alignment, tire rub problem fixed. Now I need to get a toe adjuster cause my toe is off by alot. So ordered some SPC toe adjusters. This s**t is getting real expensive.

Here is my latest alignment:
