Default ~IS a camber kit made the car look lower more~

I have no idea.. I just installed Megan Camber and then put the rims on.. Oh my // \\ alot LOL!!! My buddy adjust a positive little bit and it look much better then before.. Before the outer lip didnt touch the fender but now the lip do... And I was like WTH!! I put my thumb between in the middle of the fender gap and outer lip.. Before they sit more higher then... I havent touch the coil, just working the camber.. Tomorrow I have to raise up a little in the rear... HAve ya have this experience before???

What he is saying is that once he installed the Megan camber arm and adjusts some camber out of the suspension he then begins to notice the wheel's lip getting close or touching the fender. Well, previously with the negative camber you were able to clear the fender because of the camber ( / ) leans inward and away from the fender. When you adjust the camber arm to remove the negative you pulling in the bottom of wheel and pushing out the out the top of the wheel. At least, that's what I'm picturing in my head.

I had about half an inch from my lip to fender.. when I maxed out my megan camber kit in the rear, the lip now kisses the fender.. so yea.. its going to look more flush and lower from the angle of the wheel

angle affects it when you correct camber whereas before it was negative thats why you have a good clearance on the fender gap.Gville350 explain it clearly.

Yeah once I adjust more negative and the rim fully tuck but it look like hella sunk LOL..

WEll I adjust negative because I want the lip tuck under the fender but the tires look funny... They are 235-40-18 and the tires hasnt touch the fender.. IT look more like hella sunk... I gotta play camber again.. Oh well
