Need Help, Got A Few Questions! Camber, Springs

[Turbz RB-25]

Hi Fellas,

I just had a few questions in regards to my KCA347 rear camber kit:

1) How much (off the top of your head) would it be to install if I take it to pedders and to adjust it to what I want (-0.75 degrees)

2) Is it true that in order to set the desired camber, they have to install it, put the car on the ground, measure it, if it's not what I want, they have to jack it up again, take it out, adjust the camber, install it back in, measure it, until I get the desired result?

3) Do they sell kits that are just adjustable while they are installed on the car, and how do they differ from the KCA347 rear camber kit?

4) Is the standard rear hieght of an R33 GTS-T from the centre of the wheel to the guard 370mm? The reason I am asking is because I want k-mac to make me a set of springs, and they need the standard hieght, and then the desired high so they can from there make up the spring.

However, if the standard height from new is 370mm, should I tell them that the standard hieght is 360mm in order to take into account the spring sag over time?

My car doesn't currently have standard springs, this is why I am asking, because I cannot simply measure it from my car.

Cheers

Hi there,

1. Need to ask Pedders.

2. I doubt it. Centre metal sleeve/spool is offset hole to bolty, maybe one piece, or was on my castor kit from Whiteline leastwise, I would imagine the principle is the same for camber, can't remember what my kit looked like now. Therefore car is raised, centre bolt/sleeve rotated, car lowered to be set at required camber if not correct on first adjustment & bolt checked/retensioned in new position. Or something along those lines, didn't watch the procedure so am taking a guess here. Have a look at your kit. Is the hole in the steel centre sleeve central or offset?

3. Pedders? Dunno. Ikeya Formula & others, probably. $$$$$$$$$

4. Hopefully someone can FAST that detail for you.

5. See your question 4?

My 2c

Cheers GW

Depends if you can get that sort of alignment with one camber kit or it you need two.

2) Is it true that in order to set the desired camber, they have to install it, put the car on the ground, measure it, if it's not what I want, they have to jack it up again, take it out, adjust the camber, install it back in, measure it, until I get the desired result?

No.

3) Do they sell kits that are just adjustable while they are installed on the car, and how do they differ from the KCA347 rear camber kit?

As per 2. The Whiteline kit can be adjusted on the car.

4) Is the standard rear hieght of an R33 GTS-T from the centre of the wheel to the guard 370mm? The reason I am asking is because I want k-mac to make me a set of springs, and they need the standard hieght, and then the desired high so they can from there make up the spring.

Ask the compliance shops. They will be sure as it is part of their procedures.

WHat's a compliance shop?

Do you mean the RTA?
