getting the right camber kit from ignalls (bunch of morons) was a mission in itself. thanks for your patience arber. so after installing the camber kit i noticed driving home from supraman's house a terrible banging noise coming from my driver side and sometimes passenger side suspension depending on the bump or dip in the road. it was obvious that it was something was hitting something but i couldnt figure out what. hmmm maybe i should have popped my hood. so i bring it to my performance shop E-Shift performance in Old Bridge NJ, and they discovered this



basically my camber kit was banging this part of my shock tower denting it. so E-Shfit basically got an air hammer made more room for the camber kit to go up and down. its a temporary solution until they find me a good price on a camber kit that is positioned on a different part on the control arm, so it will extend up and down into a different part of the shock tower. i hope.

this is what they had to do.



hopefully the new camber kit will work. cuz this had been a fucking nightmare for me and arber. i thought something like this could or would never happen. ill keep u guys updated

 

dang.. sorry to hear that dude!

i went on ebay and got mine! werks just fine!

 

Sorry to hear ghost

 

That sucks man. I got the ingalls and it makes no noise at all...

I cant see the pictures at work, but it sounds like it sucks...

Hope shit works out man.

 

thats nothing, my shits all busted up too. Ive gone through two control arms already, about to be another

 

Embrace the camber... :gheyhug:

 

no camber kit FTW!!

 

cambers are for 90 year-olds with buck teeth....








































jk jk lol

 

 

yea it sucks. ive spent so much money on this bullshit. hopefully they could find me a camber kit that works.

 

I purchased an SPC camber kit with the Eibach 2" drop for my 2nd gen and had no issues whatsoever.

But of course, I didn't put them on myself, I had a professional do it.

That really sucks though. A good camber kit shouldn't be doing that to your car.

 

im probaly not gonna get the other camber kit, i cant afford to keep fucking around with this anymore, im just gonna have to deal and go easy on the bumps. hopefully the camber kit wont break.

 

hmmm I have the Ingalls installed as well

it's the tip of the contol arm that hits the body of the car when it goes up

just be glad you didn't bust a hole through your shock tower

 

you can purchase any brand. not that there are many. whos to blame? honda for the poor design. see after you lower your car you get negative camber. in order to make up for that camber you need to add positive camber to balance out. in doing so you are literaly extending your control arm. since our shock towers are desined for OEM ball joints only once you extend the control arm via adjustable ball joint camber kit you are instantly hitting. there are a few things you can do for this. you can hammer away the shock tower and make more room. you can have a moderate drop or you can simply have have fucked up camber with no kit. that just = $$$$ for tires. Matt I say you airhammer that thing a bit more untill u have a non knocking ride.

 

yikes. How scary. I'm glad I saw this thread. Was bout to invest in a camber kit myself. :|


sorry to hear. I hope thing work out.

 

that sucks man..i'll remember this if i get a camber kit

 

my shits even busted worse than that

 

^^well my needs are more important lol jk

but seriously my car isnt really that low. all i have is a basic sportline/tokico blue drop.

 

they told me thats the most they can air hammer without busting through the shock tower. but trust me if i had the tools i would try and see that for myself. i asked them if they could cut it for me, but they said it would weaken the shock tower. i guess the only thing i could do is take it easy on the bumps. i wish i had the money or GHOST would not be a daily driver.

 

got any pics.

 

That's all? Dang.

 

yea man, but seriously that all i need for the type of roads i travel over daily. fuck old and winter ridden NJ roads.

 

i'll try to take some tomorrow. is basically looks like your "after" picture. from my control arm smashing up against my shock tower. My suggestion? upgrade to some stiff as hell coilovers

 

 

coilovers would be great, if i had some money. i would have to sell half the parts on my car to afford them.

 

Camber ftmfw



Is the Ingalls kit really worth all the trouble?

 

well not everyone has trouble with it. ive been on the boards a decent amount of time, and ive never heard of this. thats why i was so surprised.

 

Likewise... but my two fron tires are bald as shit. Gotta rotate them.
