Anyone have any rear camber issues on a Comptech drop with Koni-Neuspeed shocks? I have my Konis set to the 2nd perch clip (2nd from the top) which gives the car a 1.75" gap (approx. 2 & 1/2 fingers) at all fours, just the way I like it... plus the ride (with the shocks on soft) is exactly like stock. After alignment, the fronts came out perfectly straight (perpendicular to the ground) but the rears have slight negative camber (>1.00 degrees).

Anyone here have the Ingalls camber kit? And if so, what was the cost of each unit (per side) and labor? I'm rolling on stocks for now, but in 2 weeks, I'll have 19s installed. Just want to take care of the alignment issue first B4 getting new rims/tires. Thanks in advance!

 

So are you are higher than stock on the Konis? If you are on the second ring you shouldn't have any issues with alignment. I believe the middle ring is stock on these. (I'll find out for sure soon my CT springs and Neuspeed Konis are on the way)

 

In stock form, the fronts have a way bigger gap than the rears. But once the Comptechs were installed with the Neuspeed/Konis (perch clip in 2nd position from the top), all gaps became equal. At first, the clip was in the 4th position (2nd from bottom) and all fours cambered real bad, plus the ride quality suffered no matter what you did to adjust the shocks. Dissatisfied, I had the perch clips moved 2 clicks upward in an attempt to regain stock alignment. This worked... for about a week, then the rears began to camber again (not as bad as before). Only plus to this was that the stock ride came back. However, I was told that the rears were aligned as far as they would go and that eventually, they'd begin to camber again. Their suggestion: camber kit.

Yes the 3rd position is considered "normal" (or stock), but if I were to have chosen the 3rd position w/ the Comptechs, the car would sit lower than a Comptech/stock shock setup and all fours would still have negative camber.

 

how much can u drop the car w/ those shocks??

 

Did they happen to say what the camber was at when they checked it? Once it is set it shouldn't change unless the springs sag significantly.

 

I kept my comptechs on the top perch of my koni's and its low enough for me. It was alignable without any alignment kit.

 

darrinb: comptech drop + Neuspeed/Konis with spring perch all the way at the 5th (lowest) position would bring all fours to a gap of approx 1/2 inch (1 finger).

ChadT/sundace_gold: camber (of rears) with clip at 2nd position (2nd from top) was 1.3 degrees... this was 1 month ago; after being raised 2 clicks upward a month later, camber was at 1.03 (normal range is 0 to 1.00) degrees; 1 month's time elapsed to allow for any spring sag to settle, yet after the 2nd alignment, negative camber returned 1 week later just from normal (non-agressive) driving; camber is definitely >1.03 now.

 

Regardless of the drop if the rear camber exceeds 2 degrees you will need camber arms in the rear .If you are below 2 degrees you should still increase your tire rotation from 7500 miles to 5000 miles ,this will keep the tire wear in check .
