Default adjusting rear camber 00 Si

I adjusted my rear camber this weekend. Spent under $10.0 for the parts. Longer bolts and some washers. The problem is that now it squeeks. It's not often but it does happen. Anyone else have this problem when they did a DIY rear camber adjustment?

I didn't want to break out and spend $60-100 on adjustment kit but I guess I might have to :dunno:

Does anyone have the ingalls rear camber adjustment kit? If so, what does the kit consist of? I know Progress uses the bolts and washer fix-it type kit.


Oh, I also got me some new tires :fawk: Kumho Ecsta Supra 712's :naughty:

if i remembered correctly... i think ingals has one for the rear that uses more than just washers. they have an application that replaces the whole thing on the upper lca... can't remember what it was called.

I did the longer bolts and washers for rears and have no squeaks. I don't think its work buying a real kit for the rear. with my drop, if the camber was corrected anymore, the tire would rub the fender. So a little negative camber is definitely needed...

whats your current set-up?
Mine is Eibach Sportline Springs on KYB AGX's.

How many washers do you have on each bolt?
I used 4-10mm washers and 2-12mm washers with a 10mmx1.25x50mm length bolt for ea. I think I might have to readjust them by taking out the 12mm washers for a little negativity.

I have 3 washers on each bolt (6 per side). I'm not sure of the thickness because I got them at my local Ace hardware store.

I'm lowered on Tein S-Tech springs and Koni yellows.

The tires tuck in slightly up front and there's a 1/4" gap from the tire to the fender in the rear. However, when there are people in the back or a lot of stuff in the trunk, the tires tuck in quite a bit in the rear. If the rear camber were corrected anymore, then there would be some rubbing issues.
