Rear camber adjustment.

[Gianni]

Is there aftermarket camber adjustment bolts for Evo/GSR in the rear.
I bought new coilovers which have cancer adjustment in th frot. But not the rear because of where the coil attaches. There are two stock adjustment points but they seem to only adjust the tow

I dont know why you want to adjust cancer anyway, unless u already have cancer and you want to minimise it

Any pics of the rear toe adjustment, ive never seen them on on coilovers

The tow isn't on the coil overs. The rear are just hight and damper.

I was talking about the adjustment on the actual control arms. Was wondering if there is an upgrade for the control arms for camber

The rear control arm will adjust the camber

You will notice 2 arms up the top, the long arm that bolts to the rear knuckle then to the strut tup is for camber, the lil arm on the bottom is for toe

But the oem arms are not adjustable

These are the aftermarket arms u can get for our cars

Oh. That long arm (lower control arm) just seemed to push the rear of the tyre out more or pull it in. But not tilt the wheel. The other small arm that's adjustable dud the same but with the front of the wheel. There is a third arm which isn't adjustable between the two and I was thinking if that was adjustable you could then adjust camber.
And that link looks like the current non adjustable arm

I'll look at the lower control arm again and see what I can do

You do not adjust the camber by either of the lower arms. The one at front is toe adjustment only, the rear is the Lateral arm (sometimes called the rear lower control arm). See attached pic.

You will need to fit an aftermarket adjustable camber arm to be able to adjust the rear camber. like one of these: http://www.trademe.c...px?id=480736620 Camber is adjusted by shortening or lengthening the arm to pull/push the top of the trailing arm in/out adjusting your camber.

On a side note, unless you visit a racetrack regularly on semi slick tyres the stock -1 degree camber setting should be fine.

I know you cant adjust the camber much from the lateral arm, but it will slightly move the wheel in or out

What are you adjusting when you rotate the lateral arm?? is it just for the wheel allignment??

The adjustment at the lateral arm is for camber I believe, but only for adjusting to factory specs due to misalignment and wear/tear over time. I'd bu surprised if you got more than +/-0.25 degrees adjustment from it.

The stock setup can have camber adjusted quite a fair bit in the rear. Just my EVO 1/GSR rear end once measured -2'38' on one of the wheels at initial measurement before I had them setup to approx -1'35' both sides with -1.2mm individual toe = -2.4mm total toe. Ive had the suspension tweaked again with less toe out back since but cant find my freakin paperwork at this point in time :S

I could get -1.5 with standard arms adjusted, only went to adjustables when I wanted over -2.
the bolts the hold the arms on the inside allow the adjustment
