K-Tec, Built in Front Camber

[Arr0nUK]

I have these K-tec coilys fitted on my 182 cup, and it says on the website they have Built in front Camber Adjustment. Is this right?
Is this all I need to change the camber?

Mine wouldnt even adjust to standard camber mate.

Oh, lol I didnt fit mine so I wouldnt know.

 

[Tigger]

I have those coilovers
The camber was all over the place when I first fitted them - my camber was set right when I got my alignment done. Awesome stuff!

 

[Arr0nUK]

Also can you adjust the rear camber? and how?

 

[Tigger]

Nope, rear stays the same

 

[davebem]

You need camber shims that go between the rear hub and axle for that.

To add to this, how come I dont need to buy Camber Bolts like everyone goes on about? So basicly K-Tec coilys have built in adjustment?? Or will I need to buy Camber Bolts anyway?

 

[ipodsandguns]

the units have camber slot on them(the elongated bolt holes) and ktec supply you with camber bults, the bolts with what can be described as a cab on them.

they come with the bolts already.. but i was thinking of getting the eibach ones as the ones supplied are very hit and miss, one side maxed out at -1.5 and the other would go to -2.5 .... even making sure the bolts are the right way... but as for the shocks they are good

 

[Mack182]

Do all coilovers come with a limited amount of camber adjustment ?

 

[Fred@BTM]

^no not all

are these the k-tec ones they have simply moddifed by redrilling one of the holes?

The hole is drilled out and the bolt has a 'lobe' washer on the end that is adjusted by turning the bolt between two welded on strips of metal in which a nut is tighted over to hold it in place.

Must be a pain for an alignment place to set up.

Weird, I always thought the KTEC stuff was all about the quality. lol

Gutted dude.

So basicly if I go into a tyre and suspention garage and ask if I can have 2Deg Neg Camber on the front, will this help the handeling/understeer issuse?

Thanks

Out of interest are you running really low?

I had mine fitted by ktec and I'm sure if you take them to a garage and ask them to adjust the camber then they'll sort it for you.

 

[Arr0nUK]

Umm well no, its low but not slammed, its manily set up like this as I still have good handeling, not sure how low though as I didnt fit the coilys.?

Camber was out after fitting but when I had tyres fitted tyre place put the front camber back to 0.
