Exclamation Lowered on Tanabe DF210 Rear Camber question..

My camber in the rear is nasty the front isn't so bad. I have been searching all through this forum and have yet to find anything or part to help. I seen one post were someone said the stock suspension can be adjusted in the rear ??? I hope that person isn't a reflection of this forum. My end goal is to either get info on possible fix i.e bad bushing and ball joint, lowered it to much anything or info on a part to help would be great.

I just did my alignment and I'm on df210 as well. They got it back in spec with no aftermarket parts. You'll be fine. There is a lot in the rear when you drop them.

im waiting for my initial alignment after the drop because i assume that i need adjustable rear upper control arms if thats not the case do you recommend just getting the alignment with stock rear components? I just dont want to pay for an alignment then have to get it done again because its out of specs!

You'll have enough play in the factory arms and such if all you're dropping it is with the df210.

Not to tgo off topic, but how much lowering do you get with the tanabe springs, and are your kyb's the gr-2 type? I'm getting ready to replace mine, and would appreciate the info. thx.

As other are saying,

You'll have no problem getting into alignment spec with those springs.

For your reference, the rear control arms have a camber bolt that allows you to adjust the camber as needed.

It's not until you get completely slammed that you won't be able to get within spec on the factory set-up.

^^ agree with above although aftermarket parts can be used then. I went with coilovers and because of my stock fenders I haven't dropped it too much but was able to get it within alignment in the front and rear
