Hi. Sorry don't have the answer to your query but I was planning on running a similar set up to you on my white C43 Coupe (HR Springs etc) Are you having issues with your alignment setup/camber etc.

Just curious. Thanks!

Just too much of negative camber

Thanks for getting back. I would imagine it's related to the HR Springs. Seems a few other forum members are having the same issues with them on the coupes and negative cambers.
Guess the manufacturers sedan only code for these is prolly right but w/o early adopters like yourself we'd never find out. So thanks

Fact is (new industry’s best kept secret) there is only front and rear Toe ‘in’ or ‘out’ (directional) adjustment OEM! No Camber or Caster to actually adjust tire “contact angles”.

CAMBER – Allows to resolve costly, premature edge tire wear, improving traction/understeer/oversteer

CASTER – Correctly resolves steering pull, increases steering response. With better turn in and high speed directional control. Along with anti-dive/lift under brake and acceleration.

Not having Camber or Caster is OK if maintained and driven at showroom height. But the reality of day to day commuting encountering high cambered roads or altered height through load carrying or lowering. Fitting wide profile tires. Curb knocks…. Camber and Caster – full adjustment capability is essential.

For the front (only) you can fit inaccurate “one offset position” OEM bushes – but they only offer a minimal 3mm (1/8”) change!

We saw the need therefore to re-instate from the early 90’s precise/full adjustment capability – TO FIX IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.

The K-MAC patented design front kit (including Caster) provides up to 3 times the adjustment range of the “one position” bushes and is precisely (single wrench) adjustable – accurately on car (under load) direct on alignment rack.

Extra feature is that the front kit replaces the 4 highest wearing bushings and is 2 axis/mono ball (self-aligning) without the OEM oil and voids. Result is also noticeably improved brake and steering response.

Rear kit also provides precise Camber adjustment also for the first time (and extra Toe adjustment to compensate for the new Camber facility).

Another popular kit manufactured is uprated replacement bushings (12) for the ‘6’ multi-link rear arms. Providing significant improvement to rear end stability, less twitch/flex, improved traction especially when applying power to lane change/overtake.
