the rears are adjustable for camber... just not as adjustable.... an alignment is a good idea, non the less

yeah...i thought so too...the camber adjusty are on the pillow mounts. but the questions are: how do i adjust them accordingly? is this part for the shop or can i do it myself? if i were to do it, does anyone know the proper way to adjust it...is there something i can use to go on to get corrected adjustments?

most of the time u can eyeball it and take note of the tire wear. i'm so low that my rears still have neg camber even though i have a the eibach camber bolt in the top of the strut. most shops will charge ya around 50-60 bucks or find a buddy who works in a shop to do it for a case of beer. apparently ksport may have came out with a diff setup cuz mine do not have a rear camber plate

Yeh your right. The eibach is only good for up to 1.75degrees both way. And with a camber of like -3 (what i have atm) that camber kit wont get a result of -1 which is what im after.

How can you put on a camber plate on the back? Its pretty impoosible as even if there was a camber plate its impossible to adjust it as the chassis setup willl block adjustability. No?

haha these coils are nice. there is camber adjustment in the rear for 4 different setting i believe (not as adjustable as the front). i ground out a bit of the car to make more positive camber. you can also grind out the hole where the knuckle and strut meet (2 19mm bolts).

i believe all ksports are orange. i like the purple d2 coils because of the color. i don't like the ksport orange and the deep jewel green together lol.
