Default Need camber much?

Hello my people...I just installed my Megan coilovers and a set of 19 inch wheels. The wheels are from my brothers Audi A6. I had to get a set of lug adapters to install them. The over all result looks great and drives well. I took it to NTB to get it aligned and was told "we did the best we could, but it's not completely corrected...you have to take it to the dealership." Who needs a dealership when I have Club Lexus What do I need and where can I get it?....HELPPPPPPPPP!!!!

Once it's lowered, it's impossible to get the camber in spec. They probably maxed out the camber adjustment, which is exactly what the dealership will do. You'll get premature wear on the insides of your tires. That's the tradeoff for lowering your car.

NUJERZEY-I posted a very similar experience and the camber results, etc. from NTB as well about six months ago-please search.

I agree with Liquid-you cannot get the camber "in spec" however if you drive it for a little and then bring it back for a tweak you will find it gets fairly close...unless of course you have it slammed then good luck!

I did a tasteful drop on mine with 20" staggered setup about 1.5"-1.75" front and back. You'll see the results on my thread...the camber was corrected quite a bit. I also learned that my NTB has a master alignment technician who it helps to talk to and find out if he's there on the day you bring it in. He did some tweaks that the first guy didn't and got it pretty straight.

Hope this helps!

the second gen GS SPC camber kit fits our cars. you can completely fix your camber into spec. I have SAGE RCA for the rear which can adjust your camber +1,+2,+3 which can get you into spec. The front you must buy the SPC Camber adjustable upper control arm.
