hey guys, so ive got to much negative camber and its eating up my rear tires, im planning to get adjustable camber arms, but in the mean time, can i simply jack my car up and turn out the lower shock tubes to increase my ride hight (only like 20-30 mm) so what i want to know is, can i straight up adjust my ride hight in the rear without needing an allignment or anything like that???

thanks!

ud be better off creating a new hole, instead of elongating the existing one. obviously u want to leave some decent meat between the 2 holes, i dont know how much there is, if it was me id probably drill a new hole right down near the bottom, then weld some metal on top with a hole that lines up to reinforce it.

my suspension can have its ride height adjusted simply by unbolting the bottom legs and turning them, i dont have a clue what your talking about drilling new holes

get a wheel alignment is a start lol

wat car u got? im guessing 34 from the pic

they have adjustable rear arms from factory but only with mildish adjustment

if you cant afford the car, why have you got it???

you getting a brain is a start, lol

i thought it obvious to all that the car would have gotten a car an alignment when lowered, what kind of a shop would let it leave without doing one in the first place! so yes the factory ones are fully turned out

ive asked if i will need a new alignment with just raising the hight 20mm or so in the rear

and yes i can afford it and its prolly better then what uve got

when u said turn out i thought u meant making the hole bigger. i guess it was possibly a bit of false hope that it was a more advanced question than the same stuff we get in this section every day.

yes u have to get an alignment when u change the height, mainly because of dynamic toe, ur toe being out will wear ur tyres quicker than camber, and cant be rotated as well as camber wear.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
