Camber question
Last year i dropped the back end. After that my camber on my back wheels has been off and the wheels are Toed in. How can I fix this? Do I have to get a new camber kit or can I get a front dropping kit that will even the car out and fix the camber prob? Any suggestions would help :D

Re: Camber question (vader86)
The thing is...they said that my camber is maxed out and they aligned it the best they could. My only other option is to get a camber kit to fix the problem.

Re: Camber question (RadPolo96)
How much did you drop it?
What are the current specs?
What would you like?
What do you do with it? Autocross? Drag? Road race? Daily Driver?
The toe is adjusted by links, just like the front minus the steering rack.
If you can't get enough adjustment using the factory adjusters ( which I find strange :confused: ) you can get aftermarket strut rods which replace them.

Re: Camber question (BrianCunningham)
I think that its lowered about an inch to an inch and a 1/2. Not a whole lot...but an alignment guy with the hunter system couldnt do it and the same with a corvette specialist in San Antonio. The told me I would have to get a camber kit that is fully adjustable. I plane on just using it for daily driver and the occasional street race :D

Re: Camber question (RadPolo96)
That's not that much.
you have a digital camera?
If so take a picture of the adjusters, located under the diff, from the back
there's indictators.
You could have worn out bushings, but I'd like to see if they are actually maxed out.
Toe, no excuse there, unless they are at the limit.
Our cars are so stiff you have to:
1) set the camber
2) drive it around the block
3) then set the toe
both front and back, otherwise it won't settle.

Re: Camber question (RadPolo96)
I do alignments for a living the C4 should be fully adjustable with factory adjusters with 1 1/2 lower suspension. I agree with the others if its really at max there is another problem. But in any case I have never maxed out the toe adjustment on any C4.
