- Do you have Coilovers, Airbags, or camber plates? I show you how to adjust any of those with the use of the camber plates that come on them (some airbags or coil overs may not come with them on). If your looking for some fendor space or just add looks this will show you how!
scary how easy it is to adjust camber. i got an alignment and i noticed one of my tires is wearing on the inside so now i can try to adjust this myself and save some money. THANKS!!!
Lol no bro. If you adjust the camber that’s gonna mess your toe up.
@@dumbeezy5480No actually. Excessive camber will but you can only go so far negative and positive on these.
@@dezznutz8692 No
Can you use a alignment machine to get the camber adjustment exact from camber caster plates
I find it hard to believe that the wheels in cambered position can be held by those small little bolts that slide.
I thought the same thing when I fitted them.. but I realised, the majority of forces on the strut are vertical.. but I ALWAYS check them cause I still don't trust em!
You can say that about any screw that holds loads......camber plates with spherical bushings have been proven time and time again to have a performance advantage over rubber bearing mounts and good quality plates never have problems with compliance of the plate.
me too, until i tried, only one time i forgot to tighten the little bolts and it was sliding, otherwise just regular hand tighten with the allen key was sufficient
Those bolts go into little holes to keep them from sliding…
I may be wrong but it looks like they're on the wrong way. The slots for the camber should be facing towards your fender.
They are facing toward the wing.. it's just how the Subaru strut top looks! Caught me out first time too lol
Yeah he’s adjusting caster in this video 😂
@@CryptiiixIt’s ok mate, just admit you don’t know what you’re talking about. 💀
Thanks so much for the vid. I just place a coils over kit but I am far from do this correct. First I measured the original struts with the coilsover and lowered a little bit it. Installed and it was extremely high and positive. Than, 2nd, I measure the excesses (about 8cm) and took this out and, installed again. This time was to low and weird thing, the sway bar didn't connected. It was to far for engage. I don't know what I am doing.
Hi, so does this mean the wheel moves further from the shock? My coils are rubbing the inside of my wheel, so if I move it will it move away from the shock?
I did exactly this but my front left chambers in way more than my front right? Would an alignment fix this issue.
im late but yes
Any rubbing issues with the bags when you added more camber? and also do you have camber bolts to help as well?
Dispatch Sales No I haven't had any issues with rubbing, nor do I have camber bolts. I am running very close to factory spec on camber, I could still add a good amount
Does it affect the toe alignment?
Do you need coils or can you use the camber plates with the stock suspension?
Thats a badass strut
Do you not need any sort of strut top mount for these?
Do you have a good starting point for camber on this setup? What is your setup process? Do you just make a timed lap and adjust for best lap time or are you measuring lateral Gs?
I want to do this to my Kia Rio 5 but it looks like there is some cutting involved to put a camber plate on it cuz right now it has three bolts and they don't move at all so I guess you just have to cut little slits so it can move back and forth . Can you adjust the camber at the bottom of the strut ? I just kind of want to take the wheels in but is the only way to achieve that is by camber plate?
Does it adjust to the rear automatically? How do you camber the rear?
Rear camber is done through lower control arms and toe arms. You need aftermarket ones to adjust the rear camber to anything past -2 to -2.5
Thanks this was helpful!
Nice ive been wondering how to fix this camber issue i have on my e36. Guy before me must have liked it low low whole under side of my car is beat up.
your issue is a crap car just tunk it
Pinkie Love Fuck you
so. would you just need an adjustable coilovers or would you need camber arms and plates for a stock car?
Depends on the car. Some OEM spring diameters are too large so that when you try to use camber plates they foul, aftermarket coilovers have smaller diameter springs.
Really helpful. Can you please make a video for adjusting the rear camber please?
Same thing unless you dont have camber plates.
no use rear camber arms if the strut and spring are seperate for rear
Is alignment needed after camber adjustment?
yes
Do you have to get an allignment?? After
These look like you can only adjust camber. Can you adjust castor
why would you want to adjust caster?
so this top hat camber plates replace the aftermarket camber upper arms ?
Did you have camber plates on the rear coilovers too? If not how'd you get the camber to be so aggressive on the back tires?
Jakobi Baker You can't have camber bolts on the back. On the 2015 and up WRX the rear tires are on adjustable for camber (without added parts). I'm actually in factory spec for the rears when I'm at ride height, but when I drop it to the ground the tears go way negative. I didn't do anything to make the rears that aggressive. I hope than answers your question!
Wheres the LINK for this Air Ride Performance kit?
Link?
How many millimetres apart are the top bolts
I replaced the lower control arm, on a Ford Fusion JU, and i feel like the wheel is sitting outside than it should.
is there a way you can do the back?
When I move it to adjust it ,it’s stiff stuck doesn’t move
How do you know both arms are even?
Hey I have a question how do you move your camber so smooth? I've jacked my car up and loosen the bolts and pushed and it's a bitch :/ just won't move
TeAZeR1o1 make sure the bolts are all loosened enough, and if need be push on the tire itself. If you take it in to get an alignment they will get camber within factory spec for you
mm allen wrench? doesnt seem to safe by tighting them that way...
Juan Nunez that's how the suspension comes
I think he means socket + in. lb. would be better than the cheap included wrench
I'm looking to get some coilovers because my front left strut is out and it's not good to be driving on it -__- sorry I definitely need something. any recommendations?
TeAZeR1o1 I can't personally recommend anything as far as coilovers, I have never had them. My bags are awesome though but they can be quite expensive. I have herd great things about BC coilovers though, it all depends on what type of car you have, look it up on the forums
Subielicious yeah after I seen this i did alot of research and looked at other videos I got some godspeed project mono ss ugh their gorgeous lol still in the process of putting them on. and thanks for the video definitely helped!!!
hey! those bolts on the camber plates.. how do they hold position when driving over bumps and such? they were barely tight?
Oliver De Donno not bolt on camber plates came installed on Airlift suspension, but they bolts that hold the camber down don't move at all
ok thanks!
Does this fuck up your alignment and require a new one professionally? And how much camber will this add? -1?
ayy lmao 👽 you get a alignment based off of your preset ride height, and it will go probably -5 or more. -1 is a standard for most cars stock
Mine got oil on the top hat. Could mine be blown?
koukimonzta I couldn't tell you for sure, best way to see if take it down to someone and most places will do a free inspection on your suspension
I just put a kit on my civic and set the struts and shocks before I stick them on the car to the best of my ability well the passenger side has a lot of camber well not a lot but it matches good with the back and it clears the fenders when I turn unlike the driver side so I watched your videos and did the samething and i set it to match the other one and it didn’t move at all then I tried to push it more to get the same look at the other side and still nothing it didn’t matter how much I moved it it didn’t pull the top of the wheel in at all any ideas why and why the passenger side would be set the same or close to it and have more camber it’s making the car pull to one side too I got to get that shit right some how and one the back sides is about a half inch to a inch higher and there let all the way out and same with the shock so idk how the fuck that is
How much did you lift the car from the floor ? Apparently it looked like it wasn’t completely off the floor. And how do you know at what angle you adjusted the camber?, a lot of unexplained steps.
Are these camberplates can also be use for stock shocks with lowering springs?
no
what kind of coilovers are you using
He’s on air
Hey bro. I just installed some coilovers on my car. The front came with camber adjustable and the rear didn't. I tried my best to adjust the front as good as I can, which is a PITA to get it correctly. But for the rear, it has negative camber. How did you fix that on yours or did you leave like that in the back? Also, I keep hearing that it's not worth it to get an alignment since you can do it yourself with that camber adjustment. What did you ended up doing? Please let me know.
Subaru WRX The rear is non adjustable on these cars, if you want to adjust it you have to buy a camber kit for the rear. And you need an alignment, you can adjust camer with camber plates but can't account for your toe, and how strait the car drives. Wait 500-1000 miles for the coils to break in and get an alignment, it's only like $50 and it can end up saving you from eating through your tires
Subielicious okay I see. So for yours? Did you just leave the rear like that or you ended up getting a camber set? I'm not sure what you mean about the toe? Can you clarify, I'm new to this. Thanks. Also have a question. For some reason, my springs makes a lot of damn noises. Especially when I turn left or right. There's some visible noise while driving also. Any idea on what I could check to stop that? It's getting really annoying. Thanks for replying man.
Subaru WRX I left mine, no rear camber kit. And toe is basically making sure your tire is strait and not pointing inwards or outwords. And I don't know much about coils so I can't answer that for you
@@subielicious6892 80 miles is plenty.
Do u know a place to get camber for acura rsx?
I wouldn't trust those markers. Alignment shops have the proper measuring equipment to accurately adjust the suspension for ~50 bucks.
I tried to increase my negative camber but the bag will always hit the wall behind it. Help? I drive a FRS
Tizmo JDM little confused on your question, you have bags or coils?
Subielicious bags. When i put just a little bit of camber. The bag hits the wall. Any ideas on what i should do?
Tizmo JDM should have plenty of room, best bet would be to contact Airlift and see what they would recommend
Maybe you already had your question answered, but those with the 86/BRZ/FRS need to bang out that wall if you adjust a lot of camber from your camber plates to make room. Either do that or adjust by aftermarket camber bolts + minimal camber plate adjustment or slotting top hole of strut (possibly even front lower control arm too if you need it to get camber gang specs). Also, shave out the metal bolt and any clips in that wall to avoid any bags popping in the fronts only. For you WRX/STI guys, you would most likely be fine but look out for that metal bolt clearance too and check your wheel clearance.
When raising the front of your car do you hear a loud popping noise? I just installed airlift 3p on my 16 wrx. Just trying to see if anyone else has this issue.
David Gonzales I also have that issue. And I also feel it thump
bags are still new and breaking in
mine does it, for me i know its my fender liner popping idk about you
I messed up right now and can’t get those holes lined up cause my dumbass took them out fully. For positive camber I can get them lined right for negative no luck. Any suggestions? I’m on bc racing coilovers too
Your suspension is installed wrong. And you only proved it by showing us the difference in Fitment before and after. The movement should be from side to side, not front back to back.
It just makes me so upset 😅😂 it is DAMP-ING there is no extra N there... Your not "dampening" a wash rag or paper towel 🙄 they are "dampers" not "dampeners"
tony45x220 it’s *you’re. Use correct grammar if YOU’RE going to correct someone 😂.
Why on earth are you putting air suspension on a awd rally car... Why what the hell man???
nak QsDSasd because it's my car and I can do what I want with it. It might be a "rally car" for marketing but no one rally's there wrx
Subielicious If you can go to a rally cross event and not see a subaru I'll kiss your ass. I rally mine frequently. 04 wrx sti my friend has a brand new one he runs in the same class. It's not meant for this. This whole stance nation stuff is painful just not on this car man please... Also it's their* not there. Not trying to be a dick just like so you know or whatever.
nak QsDSasd well congrats to you, I didn't want to rally my car. I built it for looks and some power, it's not a STI. To each is own
Subielicious Listen just hear me out. Get a tire performance tire alignment or buy the tools and do it yourself and just do autocross. Do something that uses this vehicle's potential I'm just scrolling through trying to find a more accurate method to tire alignment other than what I got and I saw this and just come on.
Like dude just go to a track once it'll cost like 50 bucks take these throw them on eBay get some real performance springs and just track it a few times you'll never go back and you will actually do what the car is meant to do.
Also don't just slam it all the way towards negative camber like your tires man your performance is all dying cause of this. I'm not trying to be a know it all I'm not but I know enough to know this car is just getting tortured and it's painful please just go to one autocross or rally cross competition everyone's really friendly you'll suck at first everyone does but it's so much better bro. Like please... As a subie lover this kills me. It kills a lot of people. Like if you want to do this get like a Cadillac or Mercedes or something shit I would have sold you my old sl500 if you wanted to do this like it's not the car man.
Subielicious it's still a subaru dude they are all built for speed it's in their blood. I mean do your thing but just consider it hell take what you got and go to one it'll be the best time you've had. You may change your views on things or just have a lot of fun. Anyway thanks for the video it didn't exactly help but I appreciate any knowledge take it easy man. Nice car.
Turn it 120° or you are doing a f...ing s*it
bruh stop filming your arms
