I'll start off by saying that I know there's technical words to describe the angle of the wheels on the car (positive / negative camber? toe?) I don't know the correct way to use them to describe what's going on so I'll be wording it in a way that makes sense to me and hopefully you can sort it out.

I've got a question here for people who have installed the BC racing BR coilovers.

I got my coilovers because the car was riding too low, we get a lot of snow here in British Columbia and the roads can be pretty rough. I raised the coilovers from their previous settings and installed them high enough to actually raise the car about an inch or two. The front coilovers had camber plates which I can use to adjust the camber through and get the wheels aligned properly which is what I want, however, the back coilovers didn't have the camber plates and my two rear wheels have a little bit of that stanced look to them.

I want this fixed because personally I don't like the look and I worry it's not good for the car.

From what I've heard, when I lower the car in the spring that angle that they're getting that stanced look at is only going to get sharper (make the problem worse).

I'm wondering if I can order a camber plate for the rear coils from BC, or some other manufacturer? or if there's a camber bolt or something that someone has had success with for fixing this issue (if other people are experiencing this)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry if this doesn't make much sense, first time I've had a car that I've needed to/have adjusted the height on.

Thanks

The only options for our cars are bolts or plates. Just order two pairs of camber bolts and you'll be fine. I have one on each of the rear knuckles and it helped correct the camber by about 1.5 degrees. They were almost negative 3 degrees without the bolts.

Also, negative means the wheel is tilting inward, and positive means its tilting outward.
