Default rear camber adjustment.

Anyone know the best/cheapest way to correct rear camber? My rear wheels are at -3 AFTER alignment. I want to keep the car this height because my fenders are pulled and my wheels are tucked and poked.

I tried to order UCA camber bushings from titan but they are out of stock.

Would Battle Version arms be able to fix the camber? or just the toe?

HELLLPP!!!!!

you will need them pulled/rolled some more if you add camber

I've done this on other cars, but is there enough meat to slot the holes where the control arm mounts to allow for more adjustment?

I ended up shortening my lower arms to get them to the adjustment range I needed.

Alex, I'm at -3 right now, how much range of adjustment can i get out of your traction rods? And is this a good way to correct my camber? MY goal is -3 front, around -0.7 rear. What camber would you recommend for a daily driven/weekend drift car?

It seems like on a stock set-up (with coilovers) if i used traction/toe rods and shortened them up like you said, it seams like it would put a lot of stress on the UCA.

From looking at how the rear suspension geometry, I'm not sure how the rods could fix my camber. Which sucks because UCA camber bushings cannot be found right now.

The traction rods have nothing to do with camber.

-0.7 would be fine for a daily/weekend drift car for the rear.

It seems like on a stock set-up (with coilovers) if i used traction/toe rods and shortened them up like you said, it seams like it would put a lot of stress on the UCA.
Shortening the lower arms have nothing to do with the load going to the upper arms.

Dont think you understand what I did. Shortened my lower camber arm (the one the shock is mounted too) by cutting it and rewelding it back together. The toe links are adjustable so those I just adjusted them shorter. The traction links are still stock length.

Awesome wheel/tire setup.

I think it looks awesome the way it is. Maybe a bit lower.
