I have my JIC's front camber set to max and my tires really don't have that much camber wear..He should be good to go....I know with my car and I am not sure about folks on air but my rear camber adjustment is maxed out plus the natural camber from the drop = very fast tire wear. That's what he most likely will have to worry about if he worries about anything..

His fronts were already worn on the insides even with it set all the way positive because the toe is off. He has to flip the fronts and get an alignment at ride height.

It didnt lower the car from the plates themselves but how much camber we had dialed in.

Very nice man! Doesnt quite look like an inch more drop in those pics, but hard to tell at the angle. Get some side shots.

Funny, both of our alignments must be out. I have more camber than you in the back yet my rears lasted me 1 yr. I adjusted the camber on the front to max about 3 months ago and i can already feel the tread is starting to get smooth

4.3deg on the front
6.x on the rear

So i think my fronts probably need aligning... and your rear probably needs aligning :D


Antbo, looks much better with camber in the front, but what sort of camber are you running at ride height in the rear?

^^^thanks

not sure about how many degress, but in the pics were i shot with the camber plates on. thats where i adjusted the rears to the ride height to match the fronts. but maybe its actually a 1/2 inch lower than the actually ride height

You guys with camber plates are only maxing out at 4 degrees? Mine was at 4 before i maxed them out, easily another degree if not two... I need to have my car realligned anywho, ill have to post specs of that when it happens.

Are those camber plates specifically for the Y33, or would S14 camber plates work?
And, where did you get the spacers?

So, where do you get them?
And, is there any other brand that offers camber plates for the Y33?

PS: Has anyone compared Y33 and S14 upper mounts? Is there a real difference?

What about the spacer?
Or, is that something you need to get machined yourself?
