Adjusting camber
Alright guys how do you do this?
I was told that eibach sells something so you can do this... but what is it?
My camber is all jacked up on the passenger side where a tree once hit me (thats my story and im sticking to it)
I was told that its not adjustable on these cars... so what super duper powerfull suspension mods do i have to get to fix this?

Eibach's camber kit is basically replaces strut to spindle mounting bolts that extends your wheels to correct up to 1 degree. Ingalls Engineering makes one that corrects up to 2 degrees, and I think it's the same price as Eibach's. Part # 3541PR .

You're right Jaws021, the kit is basically a replacement for the strut BOLTS, as leftside_ryder said. I think it's around 35 bucks. But I think if your camber is different from one side to another, maybe the repair on you car wasn't good enough. Maybe you shoud check first if the structure of your car (sometimes called the "chasis") is well aligned.

I dont know what part is messed up... sad.gif
I took the car to get aligned and the passenger side was in the red zone (in that computer program)
I think the camber was like -1.5
The repair on my car was not bad enough to even mess up the fender
It just really jacked up my hood... CAUSE A TREE HIT ME!!! THATS MY STORY!!!
lol
Kool does anyone know where i can get those bolts... i might as well put in an order for those dam springs as well...

You can order them from The Tirerack.
I don't think there is a "part" wrong with your car, what I meant is when the tree hit you wink , maybe the impact twisted a little the structure of your car (it could have been a big tree you know
). That would mean even with new parts you wouldn't be able to get the geometry 100% OK because the problem is where the parts are mounted more than in the parts themselves.
That's something that can be corrected at a "traction platform", they kind of strech the body of your car to reach the OEM meassures. Though, I supose that is expensive.
