Hi guys,

I got a wheel alignment done yesterday and found that the rear camber is out, (-1.4 LHS/ -2.4 RHS) and that the adjustment is maxed on the stock bushes. I was quoted $90 by pedders for their urethane camber kit compared to $253 dollars for the super pro kit! He was as surprised as me, and as far as we could tell the kits were the same. I know SK's whitline group buy is cheap but not this cheap, so i was wondering if anyone has had experience with the Pedders camber kit or can maybe explain why the difference is so great.

I dont want to pay a low price for shit quality only to have them replaced in 6months time.

Thanks in advance people.

Check out the for sale section, I'm sure that I've seen someone selling new whiteline rear camber bushings there.

I got my front whiteline camber and castor bushings on ebay from Online Performance Autos.

Rear ones are only $135+postage

Not TOO much more than $99, but a lot less than $253 and at least you know the Whiteline bushings are good quality.

If you're going to pay to get them fitted and adjusted, you might as well do all the bushings in one go, unless your front camber and castor isn't out too much. My front was way out, but rear was fine so I didn't do the rears, but for the cost of labour I sort of wish I'd done them in one go.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
