Who makes the best camber kits?
#16
hey, so im building some wide wheels as well with similar poke. the factory camber is pretty weak. both those companies to make arms. some ebay store sells ones that people on here think are pretty decent. theyre a gold color

To get "the most extreme negative camber" your going to need a lot of custom fabing you're obviously not capable of. Get battle version rear upper control arms and preferably the rest of his suspension links and take your car to someone who knows how to install and do a proper alignment.

Zach is right about what you need to do though. The only problem I see with his suggestion is that the UCA is no longer for sale on the battle version website.
Personally I'm not a fan of what you're trying to achieve, but its obvious you have no clue what you got yourself into.

The custom fabrication he has in mind requires modifying the entire suspension and creating custom length arms. It's something I wouldn't trust just anyone to do. It requires an advanced understanding of the suspension geometry to get it right.

And again so what if I jumped into a very aggressive set up for the first time , EVERYONE here started somewhere and you learn as you go, im learning a lot through every step of this process, no need for people to get snotty with someone asking valid questions for their set up,,either help or don't simple as that, ill figure it out either way.
On a side note the idea to swap the faces was a very good one, I was so worn out from my business and work on this car I didn't even think of it, the face on the low disk is literally like 1.5 inches lower then the high disk.
I already have my two fronts apart and ready for the face swap, ill have my rears done on Sunday, as you can see the disk is like non existent.
This is gonna pull in my rears by about 1.5 inches and poke out the front by the same, its really gonna even the look out and should be enough to get these wheels to finally fit properly

Not a fan of tires this big on cars without a full widebody. Without the widebody from the rear it reminds me of a dragster. BUT having said that everyones taste are different otherwise we would all be driving around in gray box cars. Im enjoying this thread purely for the technical aspect and hope you are able to achieve your goals and cant wait to see what it looks like when you get it reinstalled. Good luck

TBH I don't believe anyone makes any after market camber "kits" it's not like Honda where you can buy camber arms, and camber plates. We only have camber bolts which are fairly adjustable and IIRC allow you to go -7* thru -9* of camber. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

There are no aftermarket camber bolts, but after doing some digging around TMEngineering sells camber correction kits. Scroll down to the bottom

im not 100% sure but I think the camber correction kit is to add positive camber to your car after it has been lowered, where as I am looking for negative camber.
there are a few companies that sell camber arms for the SC, ebay even has them for cheap, but im not sure if that is all you would be needed.
ive also found several 'universal' aftermarket camber bolts, claiming to add quite a bit of negative camber over the stock adjustment.

Just got back from the tire shop and they told me they can order camber bolts that can allow for more negative camber , so that's what im going to do.
Also ive got all four wheels here ready for the face swap, it looks like I will have exactly 1 inch difference by swapping the faces, might be just enough.

posting this just so the thread has some resolution, swapping the faces worked amazing, the car now looks properly proportioned, the rear got tucked in by an inch or more, and the front now pokes out by an extra inch or so, its looking proper, no more need for widebody or extreme camber.
Here are a few shots before the face swap, and a few after, im loving it.
