Nice Surprise after camber kit install

[Eastcoastmod]

Hi all

I lowered the x back in September using Canuck Motorsports lowering springs. Some of you may remember my rant about having a 2 inch rake afterward. I waited 9 months for things to settle but nothing really changed.

I finally got around to installing the ingalls camber kit because \I picked up a set of 20's and didn't want to ruin them with the serious negative camber I was running after the drop....the front was the worst. I decided to change the upper control arms at the same time so I could have all new ball joints and bushings at the same time,

The job was a PITA and took me about 5 hours. Everything that could go wrong did but.....

The end result looks great. The negative camber is gone. I still need an alignment but it's pretty close. I stepped back to look at the x and noticed it was sitting a bit higher in the front after the install. I grabbed the tape measure and discoverd a pleasant surprise.

Before the install I had 31 front and 33 rear to the bottom of the fenders.
After the install I had exactly 32 inches at all four corners. I;m not sure why the rear changed because I only intalled the fronts. I can only assume that with the front comming up an inch the weight has shifted some to the rear.
I noticed a much improved and balanced ride on the way home as well.

If only I hadn't been so lazy about getting this done. I would have saved myselft a set of tires.

What size tires do you have?

I'm currently sitting at 33" front and 33 3/4" rear with 275/45/20's. Could you post some pictures?

I'm just waiting for the spacers to show up before the tires go on. They should be here any day. I've been waiting for weeks.

275/45/20's on American Racing chromies.

Will post some pics when done

Are you you lowered at all?

I have to wonder if replacement of worn suspension parts might also have had an impact, as camber adjustment should not make that much of a difference.

Not really. Installed new shocks on the front and cut 3/4 of a coil to lower it, but the new shocks defeated what I did because they have less distance where the spring goes. So, I need to trim some more. Before anyone does this, let me get it finished and report back on my findings...
