lowering and camber effects

Postby JayC on Wed Jul 06, 2005 7:34 am

is it true that it will mess it up ifi lower my Si?

if so how do i sort it? do i need to fit adjustable tca's? or is it not as simple as that.

or can i just stick 17's on without lowering it.

Mines lowered on 16's and gives to much neg camber. THe wheels run on the inside edge and its been costing me a fortune in tyres and doesnt help for standing starts. Ive bought some zoo lower arms that im gonna be fitting this weekend , they have adjustble camber and castor soi will be able to get it spot on. They cost over 300 quid though.

I have some camber adjustable lower arms i had made with sphrical bushs for sale as ive got the zoo ones now. Never been fitted .

do you want to sell them? they need to fit an Si? but i want to fit 17's so i might not need to lower it if they fill the arches enought. thats still undecided and im trying to find out how easy it is at the moment. but the adjustable lower arms sound good how much would u want for them.

drop us a pm

hello mate, it really depends on how much you lower the car buy as the lower you go the more neg camber you will get.
only way to sort it is to get some adjustble lower arms.
you could put some 17s on the car but with out lowering it will look like 4x4!!!

i've just fitted 17's on my si, it's lowered 35mm, gmax springs/shocks.
had to trim the arch's away quite a bit, especially the front
